About Lisa
Lisa Powell 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 concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Her profile also notes experience with trauma and abuse, parenting and career questions, and with LGBT issues.
In sessions she uses a mix of approaches including attachment-informed work, client-centred conversation and cognitive behavioural ideas. That means she listens to what matters to the person and then helps identify thoughts or patterns that keep problems going. She can also take a focused, practical approach when a clear strategy is useful.
She has worked with people who face complex histories such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties and autism spectrum issues. Other areas listed include eating difficulties, bipolar, ADHD, chronic illness and caregiver stress. These are addressed through conversational exploration alongside targeted, problem-solving work when needed.
Clients can expect a straightforward tone and a steady working relationship. Sessions aim to clarify what is happening, name unhelpful patterns and test out different ways of coping. The focus is on increasing understanding and on practical steps that fit everyday life.

How her approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on relationships and early patterns that shape how people relate to others. It helps when past attachments affect current trust, intimacy and how someone manages stress in relationships. Client-centred therapy centres the person’s own experience and aims to make it easier to talk things through, reflect on feelings and find direction at a steady pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and supports practical experiments to reduce anxiety or shift unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then agree on a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around study, work or travel and may reduce time spent commuting. They also allow a mix of conversational and skills-based work that fits into a young adult’s routine, such as shorter check-ins or longer weekly sessions depending on what is useful. Registered or accredited professionals can discuss practical arrangements and help plan sessions that suit everyday life.
