About Lisa
Lisa Powell is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she aims to help people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and a range of relationship and life difficulties. She also supports clients with ADHD, eating concerns, intimacy-related issues and work or career pressures.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She creates a calm space where people can talk without fear of judgement and where their feelings are taken seriously. Sessions tend to centre on understanding what matters to the individual and finding steps that fit their life.
Lisa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques when helping people manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful thinking patterns. Jungian and existential perspectives are brought in to help explore meaning, identity and deeper patterns that can feel stuck.
Clients who value clarity and a collaborative way of working may find this style helpful. Lisa aims to build trust and practical strategies while also attending to emotional depth and life meaning. That combination can suit people coping with bereavement, family conflict, abandonment issues, chronic illness or complex trauma.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and the therapist encourages people to be gentle with themselves during that process. To begin, prospective clients use the platform's Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, talk about difficult memories and try new ways of relating in their everyday life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and practises small experiments to change unhelpful cycles. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress and can include homework between sessions to build skills. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques to fit the person's needs. That conversation is collaborative and ongoing rather than a one-time decision. Please confirm which session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also permit quieter sessions that do not require a long commute, and it supports follow-up work and practical exercises between meetings.Areas of expertise
