About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also supports those coping with self-esteem struggles, life changes and addictions. Lisa works to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
She encourages anyone taking the first step towards therapy and acknowledges that reaching out can take courage. With seven years of experience, Lisa uses practical tools to help clients manage difficult feelings.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape conversations so they feel useful and concrete. Hypnotherapy is also part of her approach when it may suit a person’s goals. Sessions focus on clear, achievable aims.
Lisa helps people break problems into small steps and build skills they can use between meetings. She also pays attention to life stories such as adoption and attachment concerns when they affect current wellbeing. Clients bring a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, bipolar and obsessive-compulsive difficulties.
Additional areas of focus include codependency, dissociation, drug and alcohol addiction, self-harm and women’s issues. Lisa adapts her style to the person in front of her rather than following a single method. Lisa is registered as NCPS, which is shown as her listed credential.
Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. International clients are accepted; check session options before booking to confirm how you’ll meet.

How Lisa works online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what the client wants to achieve and on building steps toward those goals. It is often used when people want clear, short-term progress and concrete strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Lisa will discuss different methods with each person and decide together which ideas to try, based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier. It can help people attend from different locations and arrange meetings around work or family commitments. If you prefer particular meeting styles, confirm the available session options before booking so you know how you will meet and what to expect.
