About Lisa

Lisa Anderson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, low self-esteem, ADHD and life changes. Her work includes attention to attachment wounds, codependency, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She brings a calm, respectful presence to sessions and aims to create a kind space to talk through what feels hardest.

She describes her style as person-centred and empathic. That means she listens first and follows what the client brings. Sessions often include gentle guidance to notice thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations so people can reconnect with how they feel in the moment.

Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work, alongside existential themes and mindfulness. Those approaches are used to help people build more flexible responses to difficult feelings and to repair close relationships where possible.

With five years of professional experience and a BACP registration, she combines clinical work with a long personal history of meditation, mindfulness and somatic exploration. This personal background informs how she invites bodily noticing alongside talk.

People who come for support can expect a steady, non-judgemental presence. The focus is collaborative - deciding together what needs attention and experimenting with small changes that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that formed in early relationships and how they affect current connections; it helps people understand attachment needs and build different ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful. This is a shared decision that can change as therapy progresses, with attention to what the client hopes to achieve.

The therapist's clinical background includes mindful, body-aware practices that often translate well to remote sessions, but the original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can prioritise self-care alongside daily responsibilities.
