About Lisa
Lisa Powell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy problems, and a range of other concerns. Lisa also supports people facing issues around parenting, identity, eating, bipolar disorder, ADHD and trauma.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She builds a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and life events.
How Lisa works
That relationship of trust is central to the work and helps clients make clearer choices about what comes next. Lisa draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in relationships. She also uses client-centred methods to follow the person’s pace and priorities.
Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when practical steps or behaviour changes will help reduce distress. She can also explore deeper meaning and personal stories using existential and Jungian perspectives when that suits a client’s needs. These approaches help people make sense of painful experiences and reconnect with purpose or identity.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Lisa works collaboratively to choose the pace and style that fit each person’s life and aims. She encourages small, realistic steps so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

How Lisa's Approaches Work Online
Attachment-based therapy looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people spot familiar patterns in relationships and practise different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and pace, offering a calm, accepting space where people choose the topics and direction of each session. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) teaches straightforward techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss the options with each person and decide together what fits their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as needs shift, and she will adapt methods to match what’s most useful.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other and pick up on non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when written conversation feels more comfortable. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel.
