About Lisa
Lisa Anderson is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She also helps those coping with ADHD, grief, self-esteem issues and life changes. She is a BACP counsellor and practises from the United Kingdom, offering sessions in English.
Her style is warm and person-centred. She aims to build a kind, respectful relationship where clients feel heard. She listens carefully and follows each person's pace while helping them notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations.
Background and approach
Lisa draws on mindfulness, somatic awareness and a polyvagal-informed outlook to help people reconnect with their body's own ability to calm and regulate. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to support clearer values and practical action. She also works with attachment-focused ways of understanding relationship patterns.
In sessions she typically guides gentle noticing of physical sensations alongside talking. That may involve breathing, grounding and simple attention exercises alongside reflective conversation. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.
With five years of professional experience, she brings steady care and openness to difficult topics like trauma, abandonment, shame and midlife change. People who find meaning in mindful, body-aware approaches often feel this method fits their needs. The first steps are short and straightforward and aim to set clear goals for the work ahead.
Therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on values and action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, avoidance and the stresses of daily life by encouraging practical steps that align with what matters.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. This helps people understand how early connection styles shape current intimacy, trust and closeness problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa treats the choice as collaborative and will help clients try different methods to see what fits their needs and goals. She checks in often and adapts the way she works based on feedback and progress.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided noticing of body signals. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, written exchanges and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day. These options aim to make consistent therapy more accessible for varied schedules and lifestyles.
