Lisa Anderson helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing grief, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. She offers a calm, steady presence and uses mindfulness and somatic awareness to help people feel more grounded.

Her style is warm and person-centred. She aims to create a respectful, honest space where people can speak without judgement. Sessions often include noticing bodily sensations, thoughts and emotions so feelings are understood as they arise.

Background and approach

That practical noticing can make patterns clearer and easier to change. Lisa brings five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Alongside that, she draws on many years of personal exploration in mindfulness, meditation and somatic work.

These interests shape how she helps people reconnect with their body's natural capacity to regulate and heal. She uses several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people act on what matters despite uncomfortable feelings.

Attachment-based ideas are used to understand how past relationships affect present ones. Emotionally-Focused and client-centred ways of working keep the relationship and emotions central to change. People commonly come to Lisa for issues such as abandonment wounds, codependency, eating concerns, gender dysphoria, end-of-life matters and midlife transitions.

She listens attentively and collaborates on practical steps that fit each person’s life. Beginning therapy is presented as a shared process rather than an instruction manual.

How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills to act despite discomfort.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this approach to explore trust, closeness and patterns such as avoidance or codependency, helping people build healthier ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the relationship and the person's own experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and mirrors what is said so people feel heard and can find their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working together. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted to what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, while live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins or those who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and differing needs.
