Lisa Guy offers support for people facing relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression and the stress of life changes. She presents a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them and begin to make small, practical shifts. Lisa aims to help people feel more valued and understood as they work towards clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

Lisa uses an integrative approach that draws on several counselling traditions.

Background and approach

She adapts methods to fit each person rather than applying one fixed model. Sessions focus on exploring thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels manageable for the individual. Her background includes 19 years in information technology and earlier roles in retail and market research.

That work experience helps her understand workplace pressures and how work and home life affect each other. She also has volunteering experience providing mentoring and support in community settings. Lisa holds a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a BACP member.

She has three years of counselling experience and continues to develop her practice. Her training and practical background shape a straightforward, people-focused style. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps set achievable steps for change.

Conversations might cover communication problems, workplace issues, feelings of isolation, forgiveness, or building self-love. The focus is on making therapy useful for daily life challenges.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Lisa draws on integrative, person-centred and psychodynamic ideas to guide online work. Person-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood; it helps with self-esteem, loneliness and building self-trust. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past experience that affect present choices and relationships and can help with repeating relationship difficulties and understanding emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adjust the focus as needs change so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, family life and travel.
