About Lisa
Lisa Crosby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and coping with life changes. Lisa also supports people facing trauma and abuse, depression, parenting pressures and concerns linked to sexual assault and self-harm.
She helps clients by listening and talking through the things that feel overwhelming. Lisa treats people as the experts on their own lives and draws on their existing strengths. Conversations aim to identify small, practical steps that can make daily life easier and more manageable.
In sessions she focuses on building motivation, confidence and clearer thinking about next steps. This often includes looking at patterns that keep problems going, and trying out different ways of responding. She pays attention to how thoughts, feelings and behaviour interact in real situations.
Lisa has worked in a range of settings over her career and brings that experience to sessions. She is used to helping people adjust to new phases of life, including the challenges common to young adults. Her approach is steady and practical, suited to people who want clear options and honest conversation.
People who book with Lisa will be asked about their current situation and what they want to change. Early sessions focus on immediate concerns and setting realistic goals. Over time the work can shift toward longer term patterns and recovery from upsetting events.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions are used
Lisa commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts and behaviours. Cognitive approaches help people recognise and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Behavioural strategies involve testing new ways of acting in everyday situations to build confidence and break negative cycles.She also draws on trauma-informed methods that focus on safety and pacing after upsetting experiences. These approaches help people manage strong emotions and regain a sense of control without being rushed. They are relevant for people recovering from sexual assault, abuse or other traumatic events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens collaboratively. The therapist and client will discuss goals, try different techniques and adjust the plan based on what feels most useful. This lets the work shift between short-term coping and longer-term change as needed.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online appointments make it easier to fit therapy into study or work schedules, allow shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. If you want to plan sessions around shifts, classes or caring duties, discuss timing and length when you first arrange a session.
