About Lisa
Lisa Rowley is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She has worked in private practice and in schools, and supports people coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the effects of domestic abuse.
Her approach is straightforward and people-centred. She listens without judgement and helps people identify what's driving their difficulties. Together they build practical steps to manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges.
Lisa has particular experience with issues that often affect young adults, such as starting work, study pressures, relationship changes and feeling lost after major life transitions. She also supports those dealing with attachment wounds, abandonment, caregiver stress and long-term health conditions.
Therapy sessions use a mix of talking approaches. Lisa draws on client-centred work to focus on what matters to the person, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns and make changes, and EMDR when trauma memories are part of the picture. She explains options and helps people choose what feels right.
Practical concerns such as sleep problems, anger, money stress and career uncertainty are addressed directly alongside emotional issues like shame, guilt and isolation. Sessions aim to leave people with clearer options and everyday tools to try between meetings.
How Lisa uses therapeutic approaches in online work
Client-centred work puts the person's concerns first. It involves listening closely, reflecting what has been said and helping the client find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk through life decisions and emotional pressure.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing different ways of thinking and behaving. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical problems like sleep or work stress. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) focuses on distressing memories and the feelings attached to them. It is offered when past events continue to cause intrusive memories or strong reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change over time as progress is reviewed.
