About Lisa
Lisa Rowley has worked as a counsellor for six years in the United Kingdom. She sees adults in independent practice and has previous experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse in school settings. Lisa holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Her aim is to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely. Sessions focus on listening first, then spotting patterns that cause distress.
How Lisa works
Together she and the client set practical steps to make life feel more manageable. Lisa uses a mix of approaches to suit different needs. She draws on client-centred ways to help people feel heard, cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and EMDR to work through past traumatic memories when appropriate.
She also uses psychodynamic thinking and elements of Imago relationship work when relationship issues are a key concern. She helps with common problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with grief, sleep difficulties, anger, addiction and the strain of caregiving or chronic illness.
Relationship strains, communication problems and issues around abandonment or attachment are included in her focus. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Therapy is collaborative - goals are set together and reviewed as work progresses.
The process is paced to suit each person’s needs and day-to-day life.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps to clarify feelings and priorities, which can be very useful when coping with anxiety, low self-esteem or life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing small practical changes. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems because it gives clear exercises to practise between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the issues you bring and what feels comfortable for you. That means trying different techniques together and checking how they help, so the plan changes if something doesn’t fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions are a good option when internet bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or who need flexible timing across the day. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving or mobility limitations, and let people choose how they want to connect with a counsellor.
