About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years of experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression, and also works with concerns such as self-esteem, relationship and family issues, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Lisa encourages people to say what is on their mind and to notice unhelpful patterns. She invites straightforward conversations about what feels difficult and what the person wants to change.
Her approach draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas. That means listening first, then trying small, doable steps to change thoughts and actions that keep problems going. She also offers solution-focused tools and hypnotherapy where appropriate, depending on what the person prefers.
Clients can expect short, simple goals between sessions and gentle tracking of progress. Lisa pays attention to how life changes, grief and past attachment problems affect current relationships and coping. She also helps people facing issues with addiction, eating and sleeping, obsessive thoughts, dissociation and self-harm impulses.
Lisa accepts clients across the UK and works in English. To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session, so the first meeting can focus on what matters most to the client.
How Lisa uses talking therapies online
Lisa works from client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches that translate well to online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building an understanding of what matters to the person, helping them speak openly about worries and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions, and uses practical techniques to test and change patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client's needs and preferences. Together they set short goals and review what helps, adjusting the plan as they go.
The original biography does not list which specific session formats are offered, so check the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time. It can also let someone choose whether to use video or audio depending on how much they want to be on camera. Many people find online sessions help them keep therapy consistent while managing work, family and other commitments.
