Lisa Hughes, BACP

Lisa Hughes is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and motivation. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space so people can talk about what matters to them and take the first steps towards change.

She works as an integrative counsellor and adapts her approach to each person’s needs. That means sessions may draw on different evidence-based techniques depending on the issue and what feels most helpful. She also brings experience as a wellbeing officer to support conversations about daily life, routine and coping strategies.

Clients can expect straightforward, practical conversations about feelings and behaviour. Lisa aims to help people notice patterns, build small changes and practise new ways of responding to difficult moments. She emphasises collaboration and helps people set manageable goals between sessions.

She checks messages regularly and normally replies during the week; she does not work at weekends so messages sent then are usually answered on Monday. Practical details such as session scheduling and costs are discussed when arranging therapy.

People considering therapy are invited to reflect on what they most want to change and to start by completing the site’s matching questionnaire. That helps match needs and preferences before arranging the first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Lisa practises an integrative style that draws on evidence-based techniques chosen for each person. One common strand is practical, skills-based work that helps people manage anxiety and stress by learning breathing, grounding and coping strategies to use in difficult moments. This is useful for everyday overwhelm and panic responses.

Another frequent focus is exploring patterns in relationships and self image. That work looks at how past experiences shape current reactions and helps people try different ways of relating and talking to themselves, which can reduce shame and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together which techniques suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and may be reviewed as therapy progresses to ensure the chosen methods remain helpful.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions around work or family time. Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking to know whether remote sessions are offered. Many people find online work helps them sustain regular contact and apply what they learn to daily routines.
