About Lisa
Lisa Rowley is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years' practice in the United Kingdom. She has worked in private practice and in schools, supporting people who have experienced domestic abuse. She helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and other life challenges.
Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on listening first, then identifying the main issues and practical next steps. She draws on several methods to guide conversations and coping strategies.
Lisa uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person in the room. That means she pays attention to each person’s priorities and values when planning sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try different ways of reacting.
For people who have experienced trauma, Lisa includes EMDR work alongside talking therapies when appropriate. She combines that with psychodynamic thinking to notice long-standing patterns that affect current reactions and relationships.
Her sessions often involve setting manageable goals, practicing small changes between meetings, and checking what works. She has experience supporting both young people and adults, and has worked with survivors of domestic violence in school settings.
Practical matters such as session cost vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model. People begin by using the site’s matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first meeting.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. Online sessions using this approach let clients set the pace and topics while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what comes up. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and tries practical changes. In online meetings this often means reviewing examples from daily life, testing alternative responses and setting short tasks to practise between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to work with distress linked to past events. When EMDR is included it is explained step by step and integrated with talking work to manage reactions and build coping skills. Finding the right approach is something the counsellor and client decide together. Lisa will talk about the options, try methods and check what feels helpful. That collaborative process helps shape sessions around the client’s goals and preferences. If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy week, making shorter check-ins possible and avoiding travel time. Some formats also use less bandwidth or let people choose whether to be on camera, which can make it easier to attend.Areas of expertise
