About Lisa
Lisa Wan offers a calm, person-focused approach to counselling. She uses empathic listening and practical tools to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Sessions are aimed at making small changes that improve day-to-day life.
Lisa is identified as BACP which indicates her registration with a UK counselling body. She draws on nine years of experience working with a wide range of concerns. These include grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, anger and bipolar mood concerns.
How Lisa works
She also supports people facing chronic pain, dissociation, domestic violence, workplace pressures and compassion fatigue. Lisa describes her style as integrative and person-centred. That means she adapts methods to suit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
She combines attachment-based ideas, mindfulness skills and solution-focused steps to help people cope and make change. Practical work in sessions can include grounding exercises, brief goal-setting and reflecting on patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. Lisa also uses trauma-focused approaches when past events continue to cause distress.
Her background includes time delivering counselling services to specialist support organisations in the UK. Sessions are delivered remotely in English and can take different formats to fit a person’s life. The focus is on building a steady working relationship and finding manageable ways to feel better week by week.

How these therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current bonds and trust. Online sessions can help identify repeating patterns and build safer ways of relating to others.Client-centred therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a non-judgemental space. It helps people talk through feelings, clarify what matters and make their own choices about change.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve focus. These skills are useful for anxiety, stress and managing strong emotions between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree on methods together. That collaborative conversation can include trying different techniques and checking how well they fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity and build progress week by week.
