About Lisa
Lisa Kelley has 20 years of professional experience as a counsellor in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She focuses on helping people who are under stress or feeling anxious, and those coping with grief, loss or low self-esteem.
Her work also covers trauma and abuse, addictions, depression and bipolar mood concerns. She supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, career strain and parenting challenges.
How Lisa works
Lisa also addresses issues like eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Lisa uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
Sessions are respectful and sensitive, with an emphasis on what the client wants to achieve. People who choose Lisa often want straightforward, practical help alongside emotional support. She encourages small steps and recognises that reaching out takes courage.
The aim is to help people feel more empowered and able to manage everyday demands. Her background includes two decades of direct work with a wide range of concerns. That experience informs how she adapts the client-centred method to different needs.
Sessions are intended to be collaborative, paced to fit each person’s readiness for change.

Online support options
Client‑centred care and online therapy options
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening to the person and following their lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so clients can explore what matters most to them. This approach often helps with anxiety, low self‑esteem, grief and relationship concerns by making space for personal understanding and choice.In practice, the therapist adapts the client‑centred approach to each person’s needs. That means together they decide the focus, pace and goals of sessions. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process and she will work with the client to choose what feels most useful.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video calls are useful for face‑to‑face conversation and non‑verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions suit shorter check‑ins, practical updates or people who prefer writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
