About Lisa
Counsellor Lisa Roberts is a BACP member with nine years' experience. She works with people on stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, self-esteem and a broad range of other concerns including depression, addictions and grief.
Lisa describes her practice as person-centred. She listens first, then uses methods such as cognitive behavioural ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions are straightforward talk work, sometimes using creative materials when that helps someone explain things more easily.
Her background includes work with parents, young people and other adults in community and charity settings. That practical experience informs how she plans short-term work and longer conversations. She also runs courses on mental health first aid and self-care.
In sessions she pays attention to what matters most to the person in front of her. That might be practical steps to manage sleep, ways to cope with anger, or exploring difficult family dynamics. She uses simple, evidence-informed techniques from CBT and mindfulness to support those aims.
People wanting to start are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session. Lisa accepts clients in the United Kingdom and works with international clients who want support in English. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used and online counselling
Lisa uses person-centred work that focuses on the person's experience and priorities. That means listening without directing the conversation, and helping people identify what they most want to change or understand.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps for managing anxiety, low mood or sleep problems. Mindfulness practices are used to help with stress and to notice unhelpful patterns in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options with the client and try approaches that fit their needs and goals. Decisions are made together, and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list which remote session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make fitting therapy around work, childcare and daily life easier, and may allow shorter check-ins or use of audio rather than video if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often offer remote sessions to reach people who cannot attend in person.
