About Lisa
Lisa Anderson supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and relationship or intimacy-related worries. She also helps with ADHD, grief, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. Her work is influenced by somatic practices and mindfulness that help people notice how their bodies hold emotions.
She uses a person-centred way of working that feels warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on creating a calm, respectful space where a person can say what matters most.
Background and approach
The therapist listens closely and follows the pace that suits each person. Lisa often brings attention to bodily sensations and to patterns of breath and movement. This somatic focus can help people who feel stuck in their bodies after stress, trauma or ongoing anxiety.
It is offered alongside talking, so practical observations and emotional reflection sit together. Her approach also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice values, relationships and long-standing patterns. Emotionally-Focused and client-centred techniques inform how she tracks feelings and builds a collaborative relationship.
Lisa has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults seeking clearer coping strategies, calmer bodies and steadier relationships, and supports people exploring gender and intimacy concerns. Taking the first step can feel daunting.
In sessions she aims to be steady, respectful and attentive while helping each person find small, practical ways forward.
How somatic and relational approaches work online
Lisa uses Somatic Therapy to help people tune into bodily sensations. This approach guides attention to breath, posture and subtle movements to notice how stress and trauma live in the body. It can be useful for anxiety, trauma-related reactions and ongoing tension.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and to build small, value-based actions. ACT supports people who feel overwhelmed by difficult thoughts or emotions and want practical steps to live more in line with what matters to them.
Attachment-Based Therapy informs how the counselling relationship is used. By tracking patterns from earlier relationships, this work helps people understand how they relate now and build safer ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. Sessions are paced together so techniques fit the person rather than the other way round.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around daily life and allow continued work when travel or schedules are difficult. Many people find that the convenience helps them sustain regular steps towards clearer coping and calmer presence.
