About Lisa
Counsellor Lisa Williams is a BACP member with 18 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression and coping with life changes.
Lisa offers straightforward talking therapy based on a client-centred approach. She focuses on listening and reflecting so people can make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than technical or academic.
Her work also covers related issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, and problems with communication. She has experience supporting parents and children where neurodivergence is present. Lisa also helps people manage chronic pain, long-term illness and the emotional impact that can bring.
People come to her with relationship endings, divorce or separation, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose or midlife change. She is familiar with anxiety disorders including panic attacks and mood difficulties. Lisa treats financial or work stress as part of the wider picture rather than a separate problem.
In sessions she aims to respond to each person’s pace and preferences. The counselling is collaborative - the person and counsellor agree next steps together. Before a first appointment she asks a few practical questions to match needs to the right plan.
How client-centred work adapts to online counselling
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without directing, reflects what is said, and helps the person make sense of feelings. This approach suits worries about anxiety, depression, relationship issues and coping with life changes. The method is simple in practice: the counsellor follows the pace set by the person and checks in about what is helpful. That makes it easy to try different ways of working and adjust them together as needed. Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs and agree on the best way forward. This is a collaborative step and can change over time as needs shift. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the original profile does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or let you choose not to use video if that helps with concentration or comfort.Areas of expertise
