About Lisa

Lisa Howarth is a counsellor who offers online therapy for stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She also helps people struggling with self-esteem, grief, addiction and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her practice covers a wide range of life changes and related issues such as sleeping and eating problems, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.

She uses a warm, down-to-earth manner and aims to make sessions straightforward and calm. Lisa is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Background and approach

She draws on person-centred ways of working to create a steady, respectful space for conversation. Her approach brings together trauma-focused ideas, somatic work and cognitive-behavioural techniques. That means attention to the body, the thoughts that keep problems going, and the simple act of being listened to.

Sessions often include practical coping strategies alongside reflective discussion. Lisa is neurodiversity-aware and an LGBTQIA+ ally. She supports people wanting to understand attachment, boundaries and unmet needs, and those coping with abandonment, codependency or avoidant patterns.

She also addresses issues related to chronic illness, caregiving stress and ageing concerns. Her background includes seven years of practice in the United Kingdom. She offers sessions in English and sees international clients by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions through the service.

How Lisa blends trauma work and practical online support

Trauma-focused therapy looks at memories and patterns that keep distress alive and uses careful steps to help people feel safer in themselves. It can help when someone carries shame, flashbacks or a sense of being emotionally stuck.

Client-centred work puts the person and their experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the client’s pace and helps people name feelings, needs and boundaries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and the behaviours that follow. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping skills, and it pairs well with somatic listening to the body's reactions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working together. This is a collaborative process that aims to match methods to what a person needs in practice.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit around work. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, reflections between sessions or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside everyday life.
