About Lisa
Lisa Powell is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 14 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Lisa also supports people facing trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD and work or career pressures.
Her approach is collaborative and down to earth. Sessions aim to build trust and a dependable working relationship where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
Background and approach
Lisa uses practical conversations to help clients see patterns, try small changes and build more effective ways of coping. She draws on several ways of working to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, for example, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours.
Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships shape current reactions and friendships. Lisa also brings client-centred and existential perspectives that help people reflect on values, meaning and personal choices. Jungian ideas may be woven in to explore deeper themes when useful.
The emphasis is on simple clarity and steady progress rather than jargon. Many people find the first step hard, and Lisa aims to make that easier with straightforward guidance on next steps. People who contact her can expect a calm, respectful space to begin working through their concerns and practical help to move forward.

How Lisa's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds affect current reactions. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships and to practise different ways of connecting and responding in real life. Client-centred therapy places the person at the centre of the room. In this approach the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client's pace to help clarify values and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and tries practical experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress where learning new skills and behavioural experiments are helpful.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs and then choose methods together. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they are relevant and doable for everyday life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try therapeutic techniques and homework between appointments, helping them apply changes in day-to-day situations.
