About Lisa
Lisa Harvey is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns and depression. She also focuses on social anxiety and phobia, communication problems, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
In sessions she listens and talks through the issues a person brings. She adapts the conversation and the plan for therapy to what feels most useful for the individual. Practical steps and small experiments are often part of the work so people can try things between meetings.
Lisa has particular experience helping people work on relationships and communication within the family, and supporting parents who are feeling overwhelmed. She also helps people looking to understand and move through past trauma and abuse at a pace that feels manageable.
People who feel isolated or stuck often look at ways to rebuild self regard and reduce harsh self-judgement. That can include learning clearer ways to say what matters, practising social skills, and addressing guilt or shame that gets in the way of daily life.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She will discuss what methods are likely to help and tailor the sessions around a person's goals. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves learning concrete skills and small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety and build confidence in social situations; this helps people test different responses in everyday life. Another useful strand concentrates on processing past distress from trauma and abuse, using paced conversations to make sense of what happened and reduce its daily impact.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different approaches, and together they will decide what fits the client's goals, needs and preferences. It is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to continue work from different locations while keeping the focus on practical steps and goals.
