About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low or overwhelmed by change. She supports those coping with grief, addiction, relationship struggles and problems with sleep or eating. Lisa also works with concerns such as anger, self-esteem, obsessive thoughts and trauma-related difficulties.
She adopts a straightforward and warm manner in sessions. Conversations focus on what matters now and practical steps people can try between meetings. Lisa uses a mix of listening, gentle challenge and goal-focused planning to make progress together.
How Lisa works
Lisa has seven years of experience and holds an NCPS credential. She offers a calm presence and gives space for people to say difficult things without judgement. Her style aims to be clear and down-to-earth rather than full of jargon.
Her work draws on client-centred ideas alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods. Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit when appropriate. Lisa matches methods to each person’s goals rather than following one fixed model.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Practical issues such as sleep, eating, addiction and attachment concerns are common topics in her practice. Getting started usually means a short intake and agreeing on initial goals to work on together.

Online support options
How Lisa’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on being heard and understood; it helps when someone needs space to talk without pressure and to build trust in their own responses. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers simple, practical tools to manage anxiety, low mood, sleep and unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods collaboratively and adjust as needed. That means the approach can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit when bandwidth is low or hands-free is needed, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on practical help and steady progress.
