About Lisa
Lisa Anderson works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, LGBT-related concerns, relationship and intimacy issues, grief and low self-esteem. She also helps those coping with life changes and strong emotions such as anger and guilt. Her approach is gentle and grounded, aimed at creating a kind space to think and feel without judgment.
Lisa has five years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
Her practice draws on a long personal history with mindfulness, meditation and body-based awareness, which she blends with talking therapy. She places attention on how thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations link together in everyday life. In sessions, she uses person-centred listening combined with approaches that look at attachment and emotional experience.
That means the therapy focuses on building a respectful, honest relationship and noticing patterns in emotions and relationships. She often invites clients to tune into physical sensations as part of understanding distress. Lisa describes her style as kind, non-judgemental and collaborative.
She follows the person in front of her rather than imposing a set plan. The aim is to help clients reconnect with their own capacity to manage and integrate difficult experiences. People bring a wide range of concerns, including abandonment, codependency, eating and food-related issues, gender dysphoria, family problems, infidelity and end-of-life matters.
Lisa supports exploration of these topics at a pace that suits each person. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she frames the work as a shared process. Clients who want to start are invited to match on the service and arrange a session that fits their circumstances.

How Lisa works online
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss aims, try things out together and choose methods that fit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel helpful and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Others appreciate being able to use methods that emphasise noticing bodily sensations and present-moment awareness during a conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting while working with each person’s circumstances and goals.
