Lisa Powell, BACP

Lisa Powell is a BACP counsellor with 14 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on common pressures such as stress, anxiety and depression, and helps people facing grief, relationship and family difficulties. She also supports people dealing with trauma, identity questions and life changes including career shifts and parenting strain.

Her approach is practical and person-led. She aims to build a trusting relationship where thoughts and feelings can be talked about without judgement. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and pace rather than a fixed script.

In therapy she uses a blend of methods that can include exploring patterns of attachment, talking through present-day problems, and looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep difficulties going. Work may involve clearer problem-solving, experimenting with new ways of relating, and reflecting on personal meaning and choices.

Lisa has experience helping people with a wide range of issues, from eating and intimacy-related concerns to ADHD, bipolar and long-term health challenges. She also works with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment-related difficulties, dissociation and other complex presentations.

She encourages small, steady steps and practical strategies alongside deeper personal reflection. To begin, a simple sign-up and short questionnaire are used to match needs and plan sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Lisa’s approaches fit into online therapy

Lisa often draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred approaches. Attachment work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions, which can help with relationship strain and intimacy concerns. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, helping them find their own solutions and build self-trust.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT is useful for stress, panic, low mood and practical problems that benefit from step-by-step change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims, try methods that suit the person's needs, and adapt the plan as progress is made. This is done collaboratively, so goals and techniques fit the individual rather than the other way around.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue work when life is changing, while aiming to maintain the same therapeutic focus as face-to-face sessions.
