About Lisa
Lisa Anderson helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and relationship strain. She works with concerns such as ADHD, grief, intimacy issues, anger and low self-esteem. Lisa also supports those navigating gender dysphoria and LGBT-related matters.
She describes a warm, non-judgemental stance and aims to make the therapy room feel calm and steady. Her work draws on five years of professional practice alongside many years of personal study in mindfulness, meditation and somatic awareness.
Background and approach
She uses a person-centred way of working that prioritises being listened to and understood. Sessions often include noticing bodily sensations, thoughts and emotions as a path to feeling more settled. Lisa blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-informed ideas to help clients clarify values and rebuild connection.
Emotionally-Focused and existential perspectives also appear in sessions where exploring feelings and life meaning matters. This mix is used to help people manage symptoms and live in line with what matters to them. She describes the counselling relationship as a key tool in healing, offering kindness, honesty and respect.
Lisa aims to follow the client’s lead while gently guiding toward new awareness. Practical steps, mindfulness practice and reflective conversation are commonly used elements. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom and draw on the BACP credential listed in her profile.
People are invited to take the first step when they feel ready, with support offered throughout the process.

Approaches that suit talking online and noticing the body
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values. It helps with anxiety, low mood and decision-making by encouraging practical action alongside acceptance of difficult thoughts.Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how past relationships shape current patterns of connection and safety. It can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and rebuilding trust in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the mix as the work develops. This means the plan can change if something feels more or less helpful.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions without video if someone prefers a lower-bandwidth option. The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online sessions let them practise mindfulness and body-awareness exercises between meetings, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
