How Lisa works
She has three years of professional experience. She treats each person as an expert in their own life and aims to build on existing strengths. In sessions she listens, asks questions and helps people make sense of difficult feelings.
She offers practical ways to manage anxiety, grief, low mood and relationship tensions. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and to meet immediate needs as well as longer term goals. Her approach adapts to what each person brings.
That might mean focusing on thoughts and behaviours one week, and on emotional or relational patterns the next. The aim is to find what works in daily life and to try small changes that feel doable. Lisa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
International clients who speak English are welcome. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match people and then sessions are scheduled according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address anxiety, trauma and related concerns. One common approach focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety and low mood; this involves noticing patterns, testing new behaviours and building practical coping skills. Another approach attends to emotional and relational patterns, helping people understand how past experiences affect current feelings and relationships and offering ways to respond differently.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting if something else seems a better fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expression and body language for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into busy days. Live chat and text-based messaging work for shorter check-ins or when writing helps to sort thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, care responsibilities or travel.
