About Lisa

Lisa Anderson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief and self-esteem concerns.

Lisa draws on a person-centred approach and Emotionally-Focused Therapy as part of her work. Sessions focus on helping people notice feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations so they can understand how those responses shape everyday life and relationships.

Her practice is informed by long-standing personal study in mindfulness, meditation and somatic experiencing. That background leads her to include attention to the body's responses when discussing difficult memories or emotional patterns.

Lisa also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and existential thinking. These approaches are used to help people clarify values, address attachment issues and face life changes with clearer intention.

People can expect a straightforward, respectful working relationship. Lisa aims to listen carefully and follow each person's pace. She guides noticing of physical sensations alongside talking so that feelings are named and understood.

Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and practical details. The first step is completing the short matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session as prompted by the site.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lisa commonly brings Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into sessions. EFT helps people name and track emotional patterns that affect relationships and attachment; it focuses on feeling and connection. ACT emphasises noticing thoughts and commitments to personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss options and help decide which methods best suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client’s experience directs how techniques are used.

Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support continuity after a move or when regular in-person sessions are difficult to schedule. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt EFT and ACT techniques effectively in remote sessions to help people notice feelings, practise mindful skills and clarify next steps.
