About Lisa

Lisa Anderson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and midlife challenges. She supports those coping with trauma, intimacy concerns, relationship and family strains, grief, anger and issues around self-esteem and identity. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she aims to create a calm space to talk through what feels most urgent.

She has five years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Lisa draws on a long personal history of mindfulness, meditation and somatic practice to shape her sessions. She pays attention to how the body reacts to stress and guides clients to notice physical sensations alongside thoughts and feelings.

Her style is person-centred and collaborative. She listens without judgement and follows each person's pace. The relationship in the room is treated as an important part of the work, offering steady, respectful presence as people make changes.

Practically, Lisa often uses mindful awareness and emotion-focused conversation to help people name feelings and recognise patterns. She also applies attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current reactions and choices. These methods are mixed to suit the goals a person brings.

Clients who come for help with midlife transitions, grief or identity concerns can expect sessions that emphasise gentleness, clarity and bodily awareness. Lisa invites curiosity about what matters most and helps people try small, manageable steps toward change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, midlife changes and decisions about values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they shape current trust and closeness. This approach can help people untangle repeating reactions in relationships and find new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lisa works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs and goals. She listens to what matters to the client and adjusts direction as the work unfolds so sessions feel relevant and manageable.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using mindful practices and body-awareness exercises between sessions to help integrate changes into daily routines.
