About Lisa
Lisa Anderson helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship pain, grief, identity questions and life transitions. She brings a calm presence and a direct, compassionate style to conversations about difficult topics. Lisa holds a BACP credential and has five years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom.
Her work grows out of both clinical practice and many years of personal study in mindfulness, meditation and somatic awareness.
Background and approach
She listens closely and aims to make clients feel heard and respected. Sessions often include noticing physical sensations, thoughts and emotions as they arise. Lisa follows a person-centred stance, which means the pace and focus are led by the client.
She combines that stance with existential ideas about meaning and choice, and with approaches that pay attention to attachment patterns between people. This blend is used to help people understand their relationships and recurring struggles. Practically, Lisa will reflect what she hears, ask gentle questions and offer exercises that bring awareness to bodily experience and present-moment feeling.
Some clients work on managing anxiety and anger, while others focus on grief, intimacy or recovering after abuse. She uses an accepting, mindful outlook alongside methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Emotionally-Focused work when appropriate. The aim is to help people notice what matters to them, make clearer choices, and build more satisfying ways of relating to themselves and others.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Existential therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. It can be useful for those wrestling with big life questions, midlife shifts, grief or a sense of emptiness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking practical steps. It is often used for anxiety, depression and avoidance patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how earlier relationship patterns shape current connections, and it can help with intimacy issues, trust and feelings of abandonment.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and try different methods as needed. This is a collaborative process where goals, preferences and the pattern of difficulties guide which approaches are used and how they are combined.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical convenience. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit short check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
