About Lisa

Lisa Powell is a counsellor with 14 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She offers support for common and complex struggles, including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and identity.

She works with people who are navigating life changes, parenting strains, eating or anger problems, and those managing long-term conditions or neurodiversity-related concerns. Lisa uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations aim to be honest and clear. She builds a trusting relationship so clients feel heard without judgment. That relationship helps people make sense of their feelings and take manageable steps forward.

Her background includes work across a range of mental health settings over more than a decade. She draws on approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, choosing what fits each person’s needs. She also brings elements of existential thinking when people want to examine meaning and life direction.

Sessions are intended to be collaborative and goal-focused when needed. Lisa will work with someone to set practical steps and ways to cope between meetings. She can also offer more open-ended space for people who want to explore feelings and patterns over time.

Clients can expect clear, direct conversation and tools to try at home. Lisa aims to help people understand themselves better and build skills to manage everyday pressures and deeper wounds.

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.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people look at the impact of distressing events and learn ways to manage upsetting memories, reactions and triggers. It can be useful for those who feel stuck by past harm and want to reduce how much it affects daily life.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and closeness. It helps people understand relationship habits and try new ways of connecting with others.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, needs and preferences and then try methods that fit. Some people respond well to structured tasks and coping techniques, while others need more space to explore feelings and meanings; decisions are made collaboratively.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a lower-key check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging works for shorter check-ins, journalling between sessions or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking.

These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and health needs while still using the same therapeutic approaches a therapist would use face to face.
