About Lisa

Lisa Anderson offers support for people facing stress, anxiety and panic, as well as depression, trauma and relationship challenges. She presents a calm, person-centred style and listens with warmth and respect. Her approach aims to help people notice bodily sensations, thoughts and feelings so they can find steadier ways of coping.

She has five years of professional experience in the UK and holds BACP registration. Her long personal engagement with spirituality, mindfulness and meditation also shapes her work. That background informs practical strategies she brings into sessions, such as grounding and breath awareness.

In conversation she adopts a kind, honest and non-judgemental stance. People can expect empathy and gentle guidance rather than directive instructions. Lisa often invites attention to physical sensations and to how the body responds to stress and emotions.

Her practice draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centred listening and emotionally-focused ideas. These methods are used to help people repair connections with themselves and others and to manage overwhelming feelings.

Sessions aim to create one steady, supportive relationship that helps healing take place. Lisa describes the work as collaborative - she listens, follows what matters to the person, and helps them try small, practical steps towards a more fulfilling life.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages identifying values and taking small, practical steps that match those values to reduce avoidance and build a life that feels meaningful.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognise attachment needs and try new ways of connecting and relating to others, which can ease anxiety and improve closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and together choose which methods to try. That collaborative process can be reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or choosing quieter times for longer work. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals provide online therapy in many forms, and the emphasis here is on practical ways to bring evidence-informed approaches into a person's routine rather than on a single method.
