About Lisa
Lisa Powell is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting pressures, and other family-related issues. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related difficulties such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating issues, and self-esteem problems.
Her background includes integrative and cognitive behavioural approaches alongside attachment and Jungian-influenced work. She offers practical, solution-focused support when needed and helps people untangle immediate problems so they can make clearer decisions. Sessions are conversational and aim to be straightforward rather than clinical.
Lisa frames therapy around a respectful working relationship. She pays attention to patterns that come from early attachments and how those show up in current relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people test thoughts and try new behaviours when that is useful.
People often come to her for help with family strain, parenting stress, bereavement, or the lingering effects of past abuse. She works with adults to explore how past experiences affect daily life and current choices. The focus is on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than labels.
Her practice recognises that starting therapy can feel difficult. Her way of working is collaborative: she and the client set goals together, try small changes, and review progress. For people juggling work and home demands, she aims to keep sessions focused and relevant to everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches inform online work
Attachment-informed work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people see why they react a certain way in close relationships and supports making different choices in everyday life.Cognitive behavioural work focuses on noticing thoughts that make problems worse and testing new behaviours. It is useful for anxiety, stress, mood concerns and for trying practical changes that fit family life.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will discuss what feels most relevant and will adjust methods to match the client's goals and preferences. That means sessions can include quiet reflection, practical exercises, or structured skill practice depending on what you need.
The profile does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for quicker check-in conversations between other commitments. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require video, which suits people who need a simpler setup. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these flexible options to help people keep therapy practical alongside daily life.
