About Lisa
Lisa Powell is a counsellor with 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She uses a range of approaches to help people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. Her practice aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to find practical ways forward.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what matters to them. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and on small steps that can make a difference.
Background and approach
Lisa aims to build trust and warmth in the relationship so people can explore painful memories and current struggles more openly. Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that follow the person’s priorities and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours.
These approaches are used together to match each person’s needs. People who contact her often want help with anxiety, phobias, grief, trauma, parenting stress, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, or life changes. She also supports people facing neurodiversity-related challenges, chronic illness, or caring responsibilities.
Lisa encourages a practical, collaborative way of working. Sessions aim to be straightforward, with clear goals and usable tools to practise between meetings. She recognises how hard it can be to start therapy and seeks to make the first steps manageable.
How Lisa’s approaches work online
Lisa draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and supports changing those patterns over time.She also uses client-centred counselling which places the person’s priorities at the centre of sessions. The counsellor follows what matters most to the client, offering empathy and presence while the client leads the topics and pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with clients about their goals and try options that fit their needs and preferences. She treats this as a collaboration and adjusts the way she works as progress and feedback guide the process.
Online therapy can be flexible and convenient. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, live chat works well for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around busy lives and different comfort levels.
