About Lisa
Lisa Ali is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She holds an NCPS credential and brings six years of counselling experience to each session. Lisa aims to make reaching out feel less daunting by meeting people at their own pace and without judgement.
She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, addictions and trauma. Lisa also works with issues around self-esteem, grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping, and challenges linked to parenting and career change.
Background and approach
Phobias are among the areas she covers when they affect daily life. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs. Client-Centred Therapy guides the relationship, while Solution-Focused and Trauma-Focused approaches can be brought in to target practical steps and trauma processing.
Lisa emphasises clear, gentle pacing and simple tools people can use between sessions. Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and several continued professional development courses, including online and telephone counselling training and workshops on bereavement and shame work. The NCPS credential appears as part of her professional details.
Lisa offers appointments in English and accepts international clients. She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can choose what suits their day-to-day life.
How these approaches work online
Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a supportive working relationship where people feel listened to and respected. This approach focuses on understanding your experience and following your pace, which helps when anxiety, low mood or identity questions are present.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps that move day-to-day life forward. This is useful for concerns such as stress, coping with life changes and developing clearer routines. Trauma-Focused Therapy is offered when past harm affects current wellbeing, providing structured ways to address and reduce trauma-related distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with you to decide which methods suit your goals and preferences. She explains options and checks in regularly so the plan can shift as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, notes between sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or travel and help make regular support more manageable.
