About Lisa
Lisa Kelley is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and other concerns. Lisa speaks English and works with clients both in the UK and internationally.
She takes a straightforward, respectful approach in sessions. Clients can expect conversations shaped around their needs and goals.
Background and approach
Lisa aims to listen carefully, reflect what she hears, and help people find practical steps forward. Her work often focuses on everyday life struggles - coping with loss, juggling career and family pressures, or managing mood and motivation. She also helps people facing more complex issues such as addictions, relationship and intimacy difficulties, ADHD, chronic illness, and trauma-related problems.
Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres the conversation on the person rather than on a set of techniques. That means the client sets the pace and topics, and Lisa follows with empathy and attention to what matters most for that individual. Sessions are available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.
The service operates via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability.

How Lisa applies client-centred work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on making the person feel heard and respected. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what you say, asks gentle questions, and helps you notice your own resources and choices. It is helpful for people facing anxiety, low self-worth, relationship or trauma-related concerns where feeling understood matters most.Lisa adapts this person-led approach to online formats so that the client guides the pace and topics. Together the client and counsellor decide what feels most useful and which methods to try. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she will help you figure out what suits your needs, goals and preferences as sessions progress.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as greater flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls are close to face-to-face conversations, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to choose the format that best fits day-to-day life.
