About Lisa
Lisa Ward is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress or big life changes. She greets worries about mood, relationships, addiction and trauma with calm attention. Lisa speaks plainly and listens closely so people can say what they really mean and feel heard.
Her work centres on listening first. Clients are invited to describe what’s happening in their lives, and together they look at small steps that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She draws on client-centred ways of working that focus on what each person needs, and trauma-focused methods when past events are part of the pain. Lisa has five years of professional experience and holds BACP, which is recorded as her credential. She has worked in domestic abuse services and in a independent practice setting, which has informed her approach to trauma-related concerns.
This practical experience shapes how she supports people with grief, relationship strains, and attachment worries. Her background also covers a wide range of everyday challenges, including sleep and eating issues, anger, self-esteem and career stress. She pays attention to how physical health, chronic illness or caring roles can affect emotional wellbeing and coping.
Sessions are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. International clients are supported, and therapy is arranged via a short matching questionnaire and scheduled to suit the client.
Online approaches that focus on listening and trauma work
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is heard and helps the person name what matters most. This approach suits people who need time to be understood and to unfold their thoughts at their own pace.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm and on practical ways to reduce its hold on daily life. It involves careful pacing, grounding techniques and exploring how painful memories show up now. This helps when past events interfere with sleep, relationships or emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The counsellor will check in about needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies feel most helpful for real-life problems.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or want a way to check in between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties or travel.
