Lisa Crosby has worked as a counsellor in the United Kingdom for 14 years and holds BACP accreditation. She focuses on helping people who are feeling stressed, anxious or low in confidence. Lisa meets clients with warmth and straightforward support to help them take practical steps forward.

She believes people are the experts on their own lives and that strengths already present can be used to manage hard times. In sessions she helps people build motivation, improve self-esteem and cope with life changes.

Background and approach

Lisa also offers support around relationship worries, parenting strain, trauma and issues related to LGBT identity. Additional areas she addresses include body image, guilt and shame, isolation and self-harm, and the impact of sexual assault. She works with young adults and people facing first responder related pressures.

Her approach aims to be respectful and down-to-earth, focusing on what clients want to change. Lisa keeps language simple and practical in sessions. People can expect clear, manageable steps and time to talk through painful experiences.

She helps clients set realistic goals and practises skills that fit day-to-day life. Her background includes many years providing direct support for emotional and psychological difficulties. That experience informs a flexible style that emphasises collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Many of the approaches Lisa uses focus on practical change and talking through experiences. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and learn new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. It is useful for mood difficulties and daily worry. Another approach centres on building self-esteem and motivation by exploring strengths, values and small, achievable goals to change habits and improve confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options with each person and adapt methods to suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client agree what feels most helpful before moving forward.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy lives. Video calls give a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options allow therapy to fit around work, study and family life while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
