About Lisa
Lisa Anderson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She lists stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy-related issues among her main areas of work. Lisa also supports people dealing with grief, anger, self-esteem concerns and coping with life changes.
Her style draws on person-centred principles. She focuses on building a respectful, honest therapeutic relationship and listening carefully as people describe their concerns. Clients can expect gentle guidance to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations during sessions.
Lisa integrates mindfulness and somatic awareness into her work. She has long personal experience of meditation and spiritual practice and uses that background to help people reconnect with bodily signals and grounding practices. She often orients interventions around how the body and nervous system respond to stress.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she approaches relationship and intimacy issues. That means attention to patterns that developed in earlier relationships and how those patterns show up now. Emotionally-focused elements support conversations about feelings and closeness.
People who prefer practical, present-focused methods may find the use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helpful in sessions. ACT techniques are used to clarify values and take small practical steps aligned with what matters to the individual. Overall, Lisa aims to work collaboratively and respectfully while helping people find ways to manage distress and move forward.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters and take small, practical steps in everyday life. ACT work often focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that fit personal values, which can suit sessions that look at daily habits and responses to social situations.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current interactions. This approach helps when anxiety or intimacy problems link to repeated relational habits, and it supports conversations about feeling close, pulled away or anxious with others.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, adjusting techniques as things progress. The first few meetings are used to agree what to focus on and how to proceed.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats she currently offers before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practise skills in day-to-day settings and then discuss how they went in the next session.
