About Lisa
Lisa Harvey is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She works with people facing parenting pressures, family conflict, and the effects of trauma and abuse. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on tailoring sessions to each person’s needs.
With three years of professional experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she combines practical steps with careful listening.
Background and approach
Conversations are shaped around the issues you bring, whether that is overwhelm, relationship tensions, or low mood. In sessions she helps people improve communication, work through guilt or shame, and rebuild self-worth after difficult experiences. She also supports those coping with isolation, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Practical ideas and small goals are used alongside talking to make change feel manageable. Lisa adapts the pace to each person and invites collaboration in planning the work. She aims to create an atmosphere of sensitivity and respect while focusing on clear, realistic steps forward.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and she offers steady support through that process. Before booking, people should confirm current session options. The approach and plan are shaped together with the person attending, so initial discussions help set priorities and expectations.

How Lisa works online
Another approach emphasises understanding how past difficult experiences affect current feelings and relationships. It involves naming those patterns, making sense of them, and building new ways of relating to oneself and others, which can help with trauma, guilt and shame.
Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to clarify goals, try an approach, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Decisions about methods are guided by the issues presented and the person’s preferences.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, as current formats are not specified here. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing sessions during a lunch break or after work, and offering quieter or less visually-demanding check-ins when that suits someone. Ask about available session formats when you arrange the first appointment.
