About Lisa
Lisa Hughes is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Lisa also focuses on issues such as social anxiety and phobia, abandonment, body image, chronic illness and isolation.
She practises as an integrative counsellor, which means she combines different evidence-based techniques to suit the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational and practical. Clients can expect space to talk through feelings, thoughts and everyday challenges and to try methods that help manage anxiety and rebuild confidence.
Lisa has worked as a wellbeing officer alongside counselling, so she brings experience of workplace wellbeing and practical supports. Her approach tends to include short, manageable steps so people can try things between sessions and notice small changes over time. She checks messages regularly during the working week and does not work at weekends.
Sessions usually start with a short assessment to agree on goals and what to focus on in therapy. Over time she helps people develop clearer coping strategies for stress, self-esteem and social situations that feel difficult. Lisa encourages open discussion of fears and practical experimentation with different ways of responding.
People who prefer straightforward, conversational counselling often find this approach useful. Before booking, check the session options and timing to make sure they fit with your routine and commitments.
Approaches used online and how sessions work
Lisa works as an integrative counsellor and uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with anxiety and relationship concerns. One approach often used in integrative work is cognitive-style methods that look at unhelpful thinking patterns and offer concrete ways to test and change them; these can help with worrying and social fears. Another common strand is practical skills training - learning short strategies for managing stress, pacing activities, and building small steps to face feared social situations. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss different methods with each person and make choices together based on needs, goals and what feels doable. That collaboration means techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses. The therapist biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity of support when travel would be difficult. Different formats can also suit different tasks - for example a phone check-in can be shorter and require less bandwidth, while a video meeting can allow more visual feedback during role-play or conversational practice. Registered or accredited professionals will adapt session length and tasks to fit everyday schedules.Areas of expertise
