About Lisa

Lisa Oxley NCPS is a counsellor accredited in the UK with ten years of professional experience. She works with people who are finding stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse hard to manage. Her practice includes support for anger, grief, eating concerns, parenting pressures and low self-esteem.

She frames the work around what each person already knows about themselves. Lisa treats clients as the experts on their own story and builds on their strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear options rather than abstract theory.

Lisa has supported people dealing with family problems, blended family issues and caregiver stress. She also helps with codependency, commitment difficulties, communication problems and separation or divorce. Drug and alcohol addiction, domestic violence aftermath and feelings of emptiness are also within her remit.

Over the past decade she has worked with people facing coping-with-life-change challenges and compassion fatigue, as well as those seeking coaching-style support for goal setting. Her approach tends to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on usable tools between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and she practices in the United Kingdom. People who want to begin can follow the site steps to match with her and schedule a first session. The subscription payment model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she employs emphasises building skills to manage anxiety and stress, teaching step-by-step strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve coping in social or high-pressure situations. Another approach she uses focuses on addressing patterns in relationships and communication, helping people spot repeating behaviours and try different ways of relating.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist discusses options with each person and agrees a plan based on their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made.

The profile does not list which session formats are used, so check the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family time, reduce travel, and offer quieter surroundings when that helps. Some formats may also allow shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations if that suits a particular day or energy level.
