Lisa Rowley
Calm, practical counselling for everyday struggles
About Lisa
Lisa Rowley has practised as a counsellor for six years. She works from a person-focused stance and aims to make sessions calm and straightforward. Lisa uses everyday language so people can talk about what matters to them without jargon.
Her work covers stress and anxiety, low mood and grief. She also helps with relationship strain, sleep problems, anger and compulsive behaviours. Additional concerns she supports include attachment and abandonment issues, caring stress, chronic pain and financial worries.
Background and approach
In sessions Lisa draws on a mix of approaches to match individual needs. She uses client-centred conversations to build trust and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and actions. EMDR is part of her toolkit for trauma-related work and she also integrates psychodynamic ideas about past patterns.
Lisa aims to make practical plans alongside emotional work. That might mean simple strategies for daily coping, or experiments to change how someone reacts to stress. She encourages people to set small, realistic goals and reviews progress together.
People can expect a warm, non-judgemental atmosphere and a steady, listening approach. Lisa is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

Sessions & fees
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on meeting people with acceptance and active listening. Online sessions using this approach are mainly conversational and help people feel heard while they talk about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it works well online because homework and behaviour experiments can be planned between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for trauma-related memories and involves a structured process to reduce distress tied to specific events.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try an approach and adjust it as progress is reviewed, so the work fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared worksheets, phone sessions can fit into short breaks or need less bandwidth, while chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule regular sessions and keep momentum between appointments.
