About Lisa

Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people dealing with life changes, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, and other emotional difficulties. Lisa works in English and accepts clients internationally.

She focuses on building a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what is worrying them. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward.

Background and approach

Lisa encourages small steps that can make daily life feel easier. Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person’s own goals at the centre. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set achievable short-term goals.

Hypnotherapy is available as another option for those who find it helpful. Lisa has seven years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. That experience includes working with issues such as attachment and adoption-related concerns, dissociation, obsessions and compulsions, eating and food-related difficulties, and women’s issues.

In sessions she aims to be warm and down-to-earth. The focus is on practical strategies, clearer thinking, and small changes that add up. People who reach out can expect to work with someone who listens and helps them find ways forward.

Ways of working Lisa names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches and online therapy that work together

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their goals. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s lead to help them feel understood and clearer about what they want to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions affect each other. It offers simple exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build more helpful habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.

Lisa will talk with each person about which approach feels right. Finding the best fit is a collaborative process based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed plan.

Online sessions mean people can choose video calls, phone work, live chat or text messaging. Video calls suit fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, study and family life while staying consistent with appointments.
