About Lisa
BACP. 3 years of professional experience. Lisa Harvey works with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting issues and depression. She helps people talk through communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and self‑love.
Lisa frames counselling as a collaborative conversation. She adapts sessions to what a person brings and focuses on practical steps as well as talking. Sessions look at patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, then explore ways to change small habits and responses.
Her work includes addressing the emotional impact of traumatic events and the ongoing strain of family difficulties. She also supports people dealing with parenting pressures and social anxiety. The emphasis is on clear, manageable goals rather than long theoretical discussions.
Over three years she has helped people work through shame, forgiveness and repairing difficult communication. She uses everyday language in sessions and offers straightforward techniques that can be practised between meetings. This is aimed at reducing symptoms and improving day to day functioning.
Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. Clients who live outside the UK are not currently accepted. Before booking, confirm current session formats and how they are arranged through the service.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online counselling
Lisa describes her work as drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive approaches look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and help people learn new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioural techniques focus on small, practical changes in routines and responses to rebuild confidence and reduce avoidance.She also addresses the emotional and relational impact of trauma by working on coping strategies, emotional regulation and safer ways to approach reminders of past events. These methods aim to reduce distressing symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning rather than simply talking about events.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to identify the best mix of approaches based on their needs, goals and preferences, and then review progress together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling such as shorter check-ins or daytime appointments. Registered or accredited professionals offer online sessions in different ways, and the counsellor will clarify which formats she provides when you arrange your first appointment.
