About Lisa

Lisa Anderson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and intimacy-related concerns. She works with difficulties such as ADHD, grief, relationship worries, anger, self-esteem problems and life changes. Lisa lists codependency among her areas of focus and supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues.

Lisa draws on five years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which is noted as her credential. She also brings decades of personal practice in mindfulness, spirituality and body-centred awareness to her conversations with clients. This background shapes how she pays attention to physical sensations as well as thoughts and feelings.

Her style is warm, respectful and down-to-earth. She aims to build a kind, non-judgemental relationship and listens closely to what each person needs. Sessions typically involve noticing bodily responses, naming emotions and working out practical ways to respond differently in stressful moments.

Therapeutic methods mentioned include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and a client-centred stance. She also draws on emotionally-focused and existential approaches when they fit the person’s goals. Lisa emphasises collaboration and helps people choose which methods feel most helpful for them.

People who value a mindful, relational way of working may find her approach helpful. Her practice aims to support gradual changes in how people cope and relate, rather than promising quick fixes. If you want to explore next steps, you can begin with the Start Therapy process on the site.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and gently commit to actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of connecting and coping. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work, offering empathic listening and support as the basis for change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and suggest methods that fit. The process is collaborative - you decide what feels useful and she adapts her way of working accordingly.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep continuity of care if they move or have changing schedules. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use ACT and attachment-informed work, often find online sessions effective for steady emotional work and practical problem-solving.
