About Lisa

Lisa Ali is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to support people through difficult emotions. She works with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction and stress. Lisa aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where people feel heard and respected as they talk things through.

She holds a BA Honours degree in Humanistic counselling and lists NCPS among her credentials. Over six years she has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and struggles with self-esteem.

Background and approach

Lisa adapts each session to the individual. She uses client-centred listening to help people name what matters and solution-focused ideas to set clear, practical steps. Trauma-focused approaches are part of her work when past harm is central to someone’s distress.

Her practice includes support for people who identify as LGBT and those navigating adoption, foster care or complex family dynamics. She also works with neurodivergent people, addressing issues such as sensory overwhelm, masking and emotional regulation. Sessions can cover coping skills for daily life, tools to manage anxiety and panic, grief work, and developing healthier boundaries.

Lisa emphasises collaboration and helps people move at a pace that feels manageable. People who choose to work with her can expect straightforward language, practical strategies, and steady support while they explore change and recovery.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online

Lisa uses client-centred therapy to listen deeply and follow what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on empathy, acceptance and pacing sessions to the individual’s needs, which can help with low self-esteem, identity questions and relationship concerns.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to identify clear, small steps that move things forward. These brief, practical strategies suit stress, anxiety, problem-solving and times when someone wants tangible change within a few sessions.

Trauma-focused approaches are used when past events continue to affect daily life. Work like this concentrates on understanding triggers and building ways to manage reactions so daily functioning and relationships can improve.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk through different options, agree goals and try methods that match the person’s needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and shared visual cues. Phone sessions work well when a lower bandwidth option or hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins or ongoing reflection easier between calls. These formats help people fit therapy around work, family or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
