About Lisa
Counsellor and member of BACP with three years' experience helping people in the United Kingdom with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, and depression. Lisa Harvey works in plain, direct dialogue and aims to give clear time to the problems you bring.
She listens to what matters most and helps people map practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions focus on understanding how stress and anxiety show up in day-to-day life, and on handling family tensions and parenting pressures. She also addresses feelings of guilt, shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose.
Lisa pays attention to communication problems and social anxiety that make everyday interactions harder. She supports work on forgiveness where that is part of a client’s goals. Conversations typically include exploring patterns, testing small changes, and reviewing what helps.
Her approach is straightforward and co-operative. Lisa adapts the pace to each person and reviews progress as work continues. She explains options and keeps the focus on what a person wants to change.
Practical matters such as session arrangements and costs are handled through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Approaches used and how online counselling works
Lisa uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to work with stress, anxiety and trauma. One common approach focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, and on trying small practical changes to shift them. This can help with social anxiety, low mood and everyday worry. Another approach looks at relationships and communication. Sessions explore how people interact in family settings and what changes might reduce conflict or improve parenting. Work in this area often involves role-play, clearer boundaries and testing new ways to speak about difficult topics. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will discuss different methods with each person and agree a plan together. The choices will reflect the client’s needs, goals and what feels manageable in day-to-day life. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. Registered or accredited professionals use these formats to offer continuity of care and to adapt sessions to what suits a person best.Areas of expertise
