About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She supports people dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, addiction and phobias. Lisa aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful feelings. Lisa listens closely and reflects back what she hears so people feel understood. Sessions focus on practical steps and small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Lisa uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and routines. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities in the room.
She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify realistic next steps and on hypnotherapy when people want a different way of working with thoughts and sensations. These methods are blended to suit the individual rather than used as rigid rules.
With seven years of experience and NCPS listed as a credential, Lisa works with adults across a range of concerns, including trauma and eating-related issues. Sessions are offered online for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The aim is steady progress at a pace each person can manage.
Approaches you can try online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without directing and follows the client’s priorities, which can help when someone needs to feel heard or make sense of strong emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises and small behaviour changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and phobias, and to build coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss different methods and work with the client to choose what fits best. That collaborative decision takes into account the person’s goals, comfort and daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit around work or childcare. These options make it easier to keep consistent sessions and to try different formats as needs change.
