Lisa Williams
Experienced UK counsellor focused on practical support
About Lisa
Lisa Williams is a counsellor who has worked in the United Kingdom for 18 years. She holds BACP registration, and her practice focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression and life changes. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Lisa aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals. Over nearly two decades she has supported people through separation, midlife shifts and the shock of chronic illness or pain.
Background and approach
She has helped with panic attacks, mood disorder challenges and difficulties around attachment and abandonment. Her work also covers common day-to-day pressures such as money worries, caregiving stress and feeling isolated or stuck. Sessions centre on the person’s story and current concerns.
Lisa uses a client-centred way of working that listens closely and follows what matters most to the client. She focuses on building understanding together and finding practical steps that fit into everyday life. People can expect straightforward conversation, reflection and collaborative planning.
Lisa adapts the pace to each person, offering space to process painful events and practical ideas for coping between sessions. She emphasises small, manageable changes more than quick fixes. If someone wants to explore their feelings about identity, body image or life purpose, Lisa will help make those topics easier to talk about.
She also supports people dealing with communication problems, guilt and forgiveness, and the upheaval of divorce or separation.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s agenda. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns and questions about life purpose by creating space to make sense of feelings.The emphasis is on warmth, acceptance and collaboration rather than a fixed programme. Together the person and therapist decide what to focus on, set realistic goals and try small changes between sessions. That process helps when someone wants support with grief, panic, caregiving stress or adjusting to a major life change.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will discuss different approaches and adapt to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That joint decision means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone appointments can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging suits regular brief check-ins, follow-up notes or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments.
