About Lisa
Lisa Johnson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports those struggling with guilt and shame, feelings of isolation, questions about life purpose, mood difficulties, and issues commonly described as men’s issues. Lisa is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.
She frames sessions around respect, sensitivity and compassion. Conversations are shaped to each person, and the plan is adjusted as needs become clearer. Lisa encourages people to take small steps forward and focuses on practical ways to feel steadier and more able to cope.
Her background includes voluntary work with Cruse and Family Lives, running a free community counselling service for a charity, and facilitating a men’s mental health peer support group. These roles informed her day-to-day approach and commitment to accessible support.
In the therapy room she listens for what matters most and works with each client to set realistic goals. Sessions can cover coping skills, rebuilding confidence, processing loss, and addressing past harm. The emphasis is on personal goals and on developing tools that fit everyday life.
People who book are asked to be open about what they want to change. Lisa aims to support and empower people as they make practical steps towards a happier life. The initial conversations focus on understanding the current problem and deciding the next steps together.
Therapeutic approaches and online options
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to what each person needs. One useful approach is focused work on coping skills - this involves learning practical strategies for managing anxiety, stress and low mood, and practising them in everyday situations. Another common strand is supportive processing of difficult events - talking through past hurts and painful memories to reduce their ongoing impact and help people feel less overwhelmed. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan together based on goals, preferences and how someone responds in early sessions. This is a collaborative process and changes can be made as the work progresses. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, or make it simpler to attend from a familiar place. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.Areas of expertise
