Lisa Harvey offers practical, compassionate counselling rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She aims to make conversations straightforward and useful. Lisa works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and parenting strains, as well as those dealing with trauma and abuse.

She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which means she meets the standards set out by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Lisa adapts sessions to each person's needs and focuses on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon-filled explanations.

Background and approach

In sessions she helps people untangle communication problems, manage feelings of guilt and shame, and cope with isolation or social anxiety. She also supports people wrestling with forgiveness, finding life purpose, and developing self-love. Her approach is collaborative.

Lisa works alongside clients to set achievable goals and decide which techniques to use based on what feels most helpful. Conversations are paced to suit each person, and practical tools are offered to use between sessions. Lisa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with costs that vary by location and therapist availability. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques used by Lisa focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is goal-focused work that breaks larger problems into smaller, manageable tasks to reduce anxiety and stress. This helps when feeling overwhelmed by daily pressures or parenting demands.

Another approach emphasises trauma-informed support that helps people process difficult experiences at a pace they can handle. This method pays attention to safety and coping skills and can be useful for those affected by abuse or past wounds.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss options and tailor the approach to each person’s goals and preferences. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful and adjust them over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when time and bandwidth permit. Phone sessions work well for people who prefer not to use video or have limited internet. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, shorter touchpoints and for people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep continuity between sessions.
