About Lisa
BACP. 14 years' experience. Lisa Powell works with stress, anxiety, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss. She also supports people with relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting strain, ADHD and career matters. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.
Lisa describes her practice as integrative, drawing on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas. She aims to be practical when needed and can use solution-focused and strategic techniques at points in therapy. The emphasis is on talking things through and helping people notice patterns that get in the way of everyday life.
Her style is direct and conversational. She helps people name difficult feelings and consider small changes that make a difference. Sessions often look at relationships, how past events affect present reactions, and ways to manage stress and mood in day-to-day life.
Lisa has particular experience with abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, and communication problems. She also works with people facing chronic illness, caregiving pressures, blended family issues and dissociation.
People choosing to work with her can expect a blend of reflective conversation and practical tasks between sessions. She asks about goals early on and reviews progress as therapy continues. To begin, clients use the site matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Lisa uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns; this can help when difficulties show up in close relationships or with trust. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and helping people make sense of their experience in their own words, which suits conversations about grief, identity and life choices. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical steps that reduce anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa discusses options in the first sessions and helps clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs and preferences. The process is collaborative and she regularly checks whether the plan is helping.
The biography does not specify session formats on this site, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and travel, and it can reduce time spent getting to sessions. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera, while others suit longer therapeutic conversation; Lisa will discuss practical arrangements when you book.
