About Lisa

Lisa Roberts is a counsellor with nine years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. She supports people dealing with parenting challenges, addictions, ADHD and the strain of long-term health conditions. Lisa works in an approachable way and focuses on what a person wants to change in day-to-day life.

Her style is grounded in client-centred care. That means she listens with attention and helps each person set realistic goals. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at unhelpful thinking patterns and practical steps to change them. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are tools she draws on to increase awareness and motivation.

Lisa trained to a recognised standard with a BACP registration, and she uses that background to shape her work. She has run mental health first aid and self-care courses for groups, and has experience supporting parents and young people in charity and organisational settings.

Sessions tend to be collaborative and focused on small, manageable changes. People can expect to talk through current problems, try new ways of coping, and plan simple experiments to test different approaches. Creative materials are sometimes used when that suits the person.

She accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients who wish to work in English. If someone wants to know more about how she might help with a specific concern, the best next step is to use the Start Therapy process and complete the short matching questionnaire.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without judgement and helping people find their own answers to problems such as relationship strain, low mood or coping with long-term illness.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or manage low mood.

Mindfulness practice is about building moment-to-moment awareness. Simple exercises can reduce reactivity to stress and help with concentration, eating habits and sleep routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made together and can change as the work progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If someone is considering working online they should confirm the exact session options before booking to be sure they meet their needs.
