Lisa Anderson
Calm, person-centred counselling for life challenges
About Lisa
Lisa Anderson supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and intimacy-related issues. She also helps with ADHD concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem and major life changes. Lisa is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
She holds a BACP accreditation and has five years of professional experience. Lisa uses a calm, person-centred style. She listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions often include noticing bodily sensations and simple mindfulness practices to help people reconnect with how they feel in the moment. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas to help people make sense of painful patterns. Emotion-focused and existential ideas shape conversations about meaning, values and close relationships.
The overall aim is practical - to help people move toward clearer choices and more comfortable relating to themselves and others. In sessions Lisa often pays attention to safety and nervous-system responses, guiding people to notice how thoughts and feelings show up in the body. She works in a steady, respectful way and invites collaboration about goals and the pace of work.
People come to Lisa for help with issues such as abandonment fears, codependency, family problems, eating concerns, gender dysphoria, infidelity and the strain of separation or divorce. She also supports those dealing with hospice and end-of-life matters, isolation, and midlife transitions. Her practice is practical and relational, and she supports each person to find what helps most.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then focus on small committed actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and connection, which can help with intimacy, abandonment fears and codependency. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on an empathic, listening relationship where the counsellor follows the person's priorities and supports self-directed change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will use therapeutic ideas collaboratively rather than imposing one method. This lets the counselling adjust over time as the person discovers what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual connection, phone sessions can work when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred, and live chat or messaging can be useful for short check-ins or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful therapeutic work.
