Lisa Wan is a counsellor who blends trauma-focused methods with person-centred care.

About Lisa

Lisa Wan is a counsellor who blends trauma-focused methods with person-centred care. She draws on nine years of counselling experience and a longer background in holistic therapy to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or trauma. Lisa is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy member, which she follows in her practice.

She uses an integrative approach that is shaped to each person's needs. That means sessions might focus on understanding past experiences, building healthier attachment patterns, or using mindfulness and solution-focused tools to manage day-to-day problems.

Background and approach

The work is straightforward and paced to what the person can manage. Lisa has worked with specialist services supporting women and male survivors of sexual abuse and rape, and has extensive experience with anxiety, depression and complex trauma. She keeps up with continuing professional development to refine how she supports people.

This practical experience informs the way she holds difficult conversations. In sessions she aims to offer a calm, empathic space where people can talk through painful memories, relationship issues, or problems like sleeping difficulties and anger. She also helps with concerns such as addiction, self-harm thoughts, codependency and managing long-term illness or chronic pain.

Sessions are arranged to suit the individual, and Lisa adapts methods to match personal goals. She focuses on small, achievable steps and on helping people find ways to feel steadier in everyday life.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online counselling

Lisa combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people gently make sense of painful memories and reduce how much those memories disrupt daily life. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating. Client-Centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and the person’s own goals so sessions follow what feels most relevant.

Finding the right mix is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively to discover which approach or combination suits each person’s needs, goals and pace. She checks in about what is helping and adapts methods as the work progresses so the plan stays practical and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for richer dialogue and non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and messaging options suit short, regular contact or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or mobility limits while keeping the therapeutic focus on progress and coping.
