About Lisa
Counsellor Lisa Coleman is a member of NCPS and has three years' experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. Her practice also covers relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating issues, parenting strain, anger and career matters. Lisa lists ADHD, domestic violence, first responder issues, narcissism, panic attacks, social anxiety, workplace issues and young adult concerns among her focus areas.
Lisa uses several well known counselling approaches. She looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviour develop. That helps people spot patterns that keep problems going. She then works with each person to try different ways of responding, so unhelpful patterns can be changed.
Her work is rooted in client-centred values. That means she emphasises trust, honesty and a non-judgemental stance when sitting with someone’s difficulties. Sessions proceed at a pace the person can manage and plans can change as needs shift.
Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy are part of the mix when they suit the issue. She also draws on motivational interviewing and hypnotherapy where appropriate. The aim is to use approaches that match the problem being worked on rather than rely on a single method.
Lisa practices in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. Costs vary with location and are organised through a cancellable subscription model.
How Lisa uses talking therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and then choose actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics of conversation.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss the options with each person and agree which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted if something is not working.
Session formats are not detailed in the original profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, study or family life. It can also allow quieter, shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these practical benefits to help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday commitments.
