About Lisa
Lisa Wan is a counsellor who blends talking therapies with a holistic outlook. She holds BACP registration, has nine years of counselling experience, and supports people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and a wide range of life stresses. She describes her work as integrative and tailors sessions to each person.
That means she draws on person-centred values and other approaches to match what a client needs. Sessions aim to be empathic and non-judgemental so people can speak about what is worrying them.
Background and approach
Lisa has a background in holistic therapies dating back to 1998, where hands-on wellbeing work led her to focus more on counselling. She has provided counselling for Leicester Woman’s Counselling Centre and First Step, an organisation supporting male survivors of sexual abuse and rape. Her practice covers common concerns such as stress, grief, self-esteem, sleep problems, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
She also works with more complex presentations including dissociation, domestic violence, obsessive-compulsive behaviours, self-harm and compassion fatigue. Lisa keeps her skills current through ongoing professional development and monthly clinical supervision. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework and maintains DBS and GDPR compliance.
People can expect practical conversation, supportive listening and help in finding manageable steps forward.

How Lisa works online
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative process allows techniques to be adapted as needs change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so check available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit work into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows continued access for people living outside the local area or juggling different commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to match the person’s circumstances and practical needs.
