About Lisa

Lisa Powell is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, family issues and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing grief, relationship and intimacy-related problems and those dealing with neurodiversity and parenting pressures.

Her background includes work with clients who have complex mental health needs. She offers practical, focused sessions and will use strategies drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches when helpful. Lisa aims to make sessions straightforward and work on things people can try between meetings.

Lisa draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to understand relationship patterns and how early connections affect current roles. She pays attention to how loyalties, boundaries and expectations shift in blended households and stepfamily situations, helping people untangle practical and emotional issues.

She also uses existential and Jungian perspectives to help people consider values, identity and life meaning. These ways of working can be helpful for people facing major life changes or questions about purpose and direction.

Her sessions are conversational and reflective. People can expect clear suggestions, practical tools and space to talk things through. To begin, the service asks people to complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns between people and on how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions using this approach often look at loyalties and expectations in stepfamilies and help people reset boundaries and trust. Client-centred work emphasises listening and reflection, giving people time to voice concerns and decide goals; this approach supports people who need space to think through parenting and relationship choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options and decide together what to try first, based on the client's goals, preferences and day-to-day pressures. This is a collaborative process that may combine practical CBT strategies with relational understanding from attachment work.

Confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can help fit sessions around work, childcare and travel. It can make shorter check-ins easier, reduce time spent travelling, and allow sessions during breaks or from different locations. Ask about the available session formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements suit your schedule and circumstances.
