About Lisa

Lisa Powell is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and supports those facing trauma, family tension and challenges with intimacy or relationships. Her practice also covers areas such as ADHD, eating concerns, career worries and coping with life changes.

She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can speak honestly about their thoughts and feelings. The relationship she fosters is based on trust, warmth and empathy, which she sees as central to noticing patterns and finding ways forward. Sessions are practical and tailored to each person’s needs.

Lisa draws on a mix of approaches that include attachment-based work, client-centred conversations and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses these to help people understand unhelpful patterns, try small changes and test new ways of coping. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with a focus on clear steps as well as reflection.

She also pays attention to deeper life themes and meaning when these matter, using existential and Jungian ideas alongside more structured techniques. This combination can help with long-standing difficulties and sudden crises alike. Lisa welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, and she accepts international clients who can work in English.

If you are thinking about starting, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling according to availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Lisa combines attachment-based work and client-centred conversation with cognitive behavioural techniques to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current trust and closeness, helping people understand patterns in their relationships. Client-centred work focuses on listening deeply and following the person’s own priorities, which can help when someone needs space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural techniques break difficulties into thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and offer practical experiments to test new ways of coping.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then test approaches together. This means sessions can change over time as needs shift, with practical steps when helpful and deeper reflection when that fits the person’s aims.

Session logistics can make accessing therapy easier, so please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, use a range of ways to meet clients; Lisa will help match the practical setup to your needs and schedule.
