About Lisa

Lisa Fairclough is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She aims to create an open space where people can say what they are really feeling. Lisa encourages small, practical steps so clients can try out change between sessions.

Her background centres on trauma and abuse work alongside anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship problems and big life changes.

Background and approach

Lisa pays attention to patterns such as attachment issues, codependency and control struggles so people can understand how they got stuck. In sessions she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice thoughts without getting driven by them. Client-centred methods shape how she listens - you set the pace and priorities.

Motivational Interviewing is used when people want to change behaviours but feel ambivalent. Lisa keeps language plain and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small steps might help.

She aims to help people build coping strategies that fit their daily life. People meet by video, phone, chat or messaging. Sessions are arranged around what suits the client and the format can change over time.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling help set the first appointment.

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

How these approaches work online

Lisa combines Trauma-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address distress that comes from past events and from stuck patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name memories and reactions so they interfere less with daily life, while ACT helps people clarify values and take small steps toward them despite difficult thoughts and feelings.

She also uses client-centred listening and mindfulness practices to slow things down and notice what matters most. The therapist will work collaboratively to find which mix of methods suits the client's needs, goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single approach. Deciding the right approach is part of the early sessions and can change as work progresses.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a near face-to-face style, phone needs less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, while live chat or messaging can support shorter check-ins or reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different routines and practical constraints, and sessions can move between formats when that helps progress.
