About Lisa
Lisa Powell is a counsellor with 14 years of experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Her approach is grounded in listening first and then helping people find practical ways to manage worry, mood and life changes.
Clients come to her for stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps with grief, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of relationship and intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Eating, parenting and career questions are common themes in her work. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood challenges and chronic illness issues. Her style is warm and non-judgemental.
She aims to build trust and positive regard so people feel able to talk about hard things. Sessions focus on making small, manageable changes as well as understanding bigger life patterns. Lisa draws on several approaches to match each person's needs.
That can mean practical strategies from cognitive behavioural ideas, or looking at attachment patterns and how these shape relationships. Existential ideas are used when people want to tackle questions of meaning, values and purpose. She explains options clearly and works collaboratively on goals and steps.
Starting therapy is often hard, and she keeps the process straightforward so people can focus on the work at hand rather than on logistics.

Online support
How Lisa’s approaches work online
Lisa combines Existential Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred methods in online work. Existential ideas help people look at meaning, values and life choices when they feel stuck or uncertain. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from early relationships and how these affect current connections. Client-Centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session, with a calm, respectful listening stance that helps people feel heard and understood.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and choose or blend methods together. This is a collaborative decision so the work feels relevant and doable for the individual.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual connection, while phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for ongoing support between sessions and for people who prefer writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and travel.
