Lisa Bell helps people cope with stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma. She supports those facing grief, depression, addictions and intimacy or relationship difficulties. She also listens to people dealing with parenting strains, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, career worries and compassion fatigue.

Lisa is a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accredited counsellor. She has three years of professional experience and completed a BA (Hons) first class degree.

Background and approach

She believes the client is the expert on their own life and works alongside them to build on existing strengths. In sessions Lisa takes an integrative approach, drawing on methods that suit each person’s situation. She aims to help people understand patterns that cause distress and to practise new ways of coping.

Conversations are practical and grounded, focusing on small, achievable steps as well as exploring feelings. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk through painful events, including trauma, bereavement and experiences related to LGBT issues. She will also address concerns such as ADHD, attachment and communication problems, body image and chronic health worries when these are part of a person’s story.

Lisa works with individuals navigating life transitions, commitment and control struggles, blended family dynamics and caregiving stress. Her approach is collaborative and paced to match each person’s needs and goals.

Approaches that suit online counselling

Many people benefit from therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building new coping skills. One common method Lisa uses helps people recognise thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going, then practise practical alternatives to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centres on working through traumatic memories at a manageable pace, helping people gradually feel less overwhelmed by past events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your situation, discuss different options and decide collaboratively what to try first. This means methods can be adjusted as progress is made and goals change, so treatment stays relevant to your needs.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
