Lisa Anderson

Lisa Anderson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD and issues around self-esteem and anger. Her work includes support for people coping with life changes and end-of-life questions related to hospice and bereavement.

She draws on five years of professional practice alongside a long personal history with spirituality, mindfulness and meditation. That personal experience shapes how she listens and what she pays attention to in sessions. She aims for a calm, kind and honest way of working that puts the client's experience first.

Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and noticing what happens in the body, thoughts and feelings. Lisa uses mindfulness and somatic awareness to help people reconnect with natural regulation and healing. She follows a person-centred stance and aims to be non-judgemental and respectful throughout.

Her methods also include approaches that look at attachment and emotional experience, and work that helps people clarify their values and take practical steps in line with those values. Conversations often move between feeling states, practical choices and meaning, depending on what the person needs.

People can expect a collaborative way of working where the counsellor listens, reflects and guides gentle noticing rather than giving quick fixes. The process is paced to each person and shaped by what they say is most helpful.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values, even when thoughts or feelings are hard. It can help with depression, anxiety and life transitions by focusing on practical action alongside acceptance. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape feelings of safety and connection; it supports people working with abandonment, attachment issues and relationship pain. Client-Centred Therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental listening space where the person leads the pace and topic of sessions, useful for building trust and exploring difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is usually part of the first few sessions. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the person's goals, needs and preferences. That means approaches may be mixed and adjusted as work proceeds, with the client involved in choices about direction and focus.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows work to continue during major life changes or while managing health and bereavement concerns, helping therapy to slot into everyday routines rather than adding extra burden.
