About Lisa
Lisa Guy helps people dealing with relationships, low self-esteem, career strain, depression and major life changes. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them. Her way of working aims to help clients feel heard and to make sense of difficult experiences.
Lisa uses an integrative approach, drawing on several counselling models to suit each person's needs. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts, feelings and patterns so people can develop clearer self-understanding.
How Lisa works
She encourages work at a comfortable pace and supports clients as they consider different ways forward. Her background includes 19 years in IT and earlier roles in retail and market research. That experience gives her insight into workplace pressures and how work can affect personal life.
She has also provided mentoring and volunteered with community organisations, which shaped her interest in counselling. Lisa has a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which appears as BACP. She has three years of professional experience working with issues such as stress, communication problems, family problems and isolation.
In sessions she aims to help people build self-worth, practise forgiveness where helpful, and improve communication at work and at home. People can expect practical conversation about everyday difficulties and gentle reflection on patterns that get in the way of change.

Approaches and online therapy options
Lisa works integratively, combining approaches to fit each person. One common strand is person-centred work, which focuses on listening closely and helping people name their feelings so they can make clearer choices. This suits issues like self-esteem and loneliness where understanding oneself is important.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas, which look at patterns from past experiences that repeat in current relationships and work life. Talking through these patterns can help when someone feels stuck or keeps repeating the same problems. A pragmatic element addresses workplace stress and communication, offering practical ways to handle difficult conversations at work or home.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and together they will choose methods that match goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative planning means the work can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone is helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
