About Lisa

Lisa Anderson helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and low self-esteem. She also supports those coping with major life changes, anger, and issues linked to identity such as gender dysphoria and LGBT-related concerns. Lisa works with practical, down-to-earth steps and calm presence to help people feel steadier day to day.

She brings five years of professional clinical experience and a long personal practice of mindfulness, meditation and somatic awareness.

Background and approach

That personal background shapes how she works in sessions, often inviting gentle attention to bodily sensations alongside talk. She aims to build a respectful, honest relationship where people can feel heard and understood. Lisa uses approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy.

In practice this can mean helping someone notice how their body holds stress, naming painful thoughts, and clarifying personal values to guide choices. Sessions focus on what each person needs in the moment rather than a fixed programme. Her style is warm, non-judgemental and grounded.

She often guides clients to notice physical sensations, thoughts and feelings during the session, and to try small experiments between meetings. The aim is to reconnect with natural coping and healing capacities at a manageable pace. Therapy is offered from the United Kingdom and is delivered in English.

Sessions use flexible formats so people can choose the way that fits their life and energy level.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Lisa blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work in ways that suit online sessions. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people slowly make sense of past harm and learn ways to reduce its hold on daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, practical steps even when difficult thoughts appear. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in relationships and helps people notice and reshape how they connect with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals, what feels doable, and how they prefer to work. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversation and face-to-face feeling, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or camera time is tiring, live chat can help with brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping the therapeutic relationship central.
