About Lisa
Lisa Szramowski offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and depression. Her style aims to help people feel heard and build skills to manage change and difficult emotions.
Lisa is a BACP counsellor with seven years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She frames sessions in straightforward terms and uses down-to-earth techniques that people can try between meetings.
How Lisa works
The goal is to leave people feeling more resourced and able to cope. Clients commonly bring concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. Lisa also supports people navigating chronic illness, fertility challenges, divorce and separation, and the emotional aftermath of disasters.
She listens for the practical impact of these issues and helps clients set small, achievable goals. Sessions tend to focus on understanding patterns, developing coping skills and building confidence. Lisa works collaboratively to plan steps that fit each person's life and pace.
She aims to create a respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. People can expect straightforward explanations and usable strategies rather than jargon. Lisa accepts international clients and offers several session formats to suit different needs.
The emphasis is on steady progress and finding approaches that are manageable day to day.

Approaches that help in online sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach is helping clients identify unhelpful patterns and try small behaviour changes to test new ways of coping. This helps with anxiety, low mood and confidence issues by translating insight into action.Another useful method is building emotional regulation skills through simple exercises and breathing or grounding practices. These tools can reduce overwhelm and support day-to-day functioning when stress or grief feels intense.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt methods together. This collaborative process helps find what feels most useful for the individual's situation.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for short check-ins, quick coping ideas, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and medical appointments, and to keep momentum between sessions.
