About Lisa

Lisa Anderson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger and low self-esteem.

Her style is person-centred and practical. She listens without judgement and encourages people to notice thoughts, feelings and body sensations. Mindfulness and meditation practices are threaded through her work, alongside attention to bodily responses informed by somatic experience.

Lisa draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape patterns of closeness and avoidance. Emotionally-Focused Therapy influences her way of working with feelings in the counselling room. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) appears in exercises that help people make values-based choices while living with difficult emotions.

Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual. Lisa commonly guides short mindfulness exercises and helps people name physical sensations linked to emotion. She aims for clarity about small, practical steps so clients can try changes between sessions.

Her background includes many years of personal practice in spirituality, meditation and somatic noticing, which she brings into clinical conversations when helpful. People who want a straightforward, feeling-based approach to difficult home and relationship problems often choose to work with her.

Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details using the online therapy button and questionnaire.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Lisa combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas with a person-centred way of working. ACT invites practical exercises that help people identify personal values and take small actions even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based work looks at patterns of closeness and avoidance and helps name how past relationship experiences shape current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss different options and decide together which methods fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaborative process and will adapt methods as understanding grows.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Confirming formats helps people plan how sessions fit into everyday life, for example fitting a check-in around work, choosing a shorter session when time is limited, or using audio rather than video if that is easier. Many people find online sessions make regular appointments easier to keep and let them practise skills between meetings without lengthy travel.
