About Lisa
Lisa Wan is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of counselling experience. She has worked in community settings and with organisations that support survivors of sexual abuse. Her practice covers anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, young adult issues and a wide range of other life stresses.
Her background includes earlier training as a holistic therapist, which led her to value both body-focused wellbeing and talk-based support. She spent several years helping people with physical relaxation and then moved towards counselling when she noticed the lasting benefit of conversation for clients. That experience shaped a counselling style that pays attention to everyday wellbeing alongside emotional concerns.
Lisa uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred work and trauma-informed methods. Sessions tend to focus on building understanding of attachment patterns, developing mindfulness skills to manage anxiety and using solution-focused tools for practical steps forward. She attends regular professional development and monthly clinical supervision as part of her practice.
Clients commonly bring issues such as stress, addictions, bipolar symptoms, sleep problems, grief, workplace strain, family problems and codependency. Lisa also works with people facing chronic illness, dissociation, obsessions and self-harm concerns. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when people notice repeating difficulties in friendships, intimacy or trust. Client-centred work means sessions are led by the person’s concerns and pace, with the counsellor reflecting what matters most. Mindfulness methods are used to develop simple grounding and attention skills that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then try ways of working together. That collaboration can include mixing brief solution-focused steps with longer trauma-focused conversations if needed.
The biography does not state which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily around study, work and commuting, and they can make scheduling regular check-ins simpler. Others prefer shorter or quieter check-ins when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so sessions stay practical and focused on immediate concerns.
