About Lisa
Lisa Kelley is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and motivation, and a wide range of life challenges. Lisa aims to treat everyone with respect and compassion and to support people who want change.
She structures sessions around each person's needs rather than a fixed programme. Conversations are collaborative and focused on practical steps that feel achievable.
Background and approach
Lisa adapts how she talks and what she suggests to match each person's situation and goals. Over two decades she has worked with concerns including addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career-related stress. Additional focus areas listed include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image and chronic illness.
These experiences inform a flexible, person-led way of working. Her approach is grounded in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens closely and responds to what the client brings. Sessions emphasise understanding, validation and helping people find their own solutions.
Lisa supports parents facing parenting strain and people coping with major life transitions. People who prefer a calm, patient counsellor may find this approach helpful. Initial steps are simple: use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
How Client-Centred Work Fits Online
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship and listening that follows the person's lead. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what is said, asks gentle questions and helps the client clarify goals and values. This approach can help with anxiety, grief, self-worth and relationship concerns.The same person-focused stance applies to all remote formats. Conversations aim to understand what matters most to the client and to support them in finding workable steps. Deciding which way of working to use is a shared process - the therapist will discuss options and tailor the format to the client's needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text sessions suit people who prefer written reflection or who want brief, frequent contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or other commitments and to keep regular contact over time.
