Lisa Kelley has worked in counselling for 20 years in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP, and she focuses on practical help for common life struggles. Lisa aims to make the first step feel less daunting for people who are worried or unsure.

She helps people cope with stress and anxiety and works with trauma and abuse issues. Grief and low mood are also areas she addresses, along with low self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

Lisa supports people facing addiction, bipolar challenges and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Her practice covers many other concerns too, such as eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, anger and career pressures. There is also experience supporting those affected by chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image difficulties and neurodiverse issues including autism and Asperger syndrome.

She lists additional focus on adoption and foster care, abandonment and attachment issues. Lisa uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person and their goals at the heart of sessions. She adapts conversations and planning to what each individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Sessions are straightforward and aimed at helping people make manageable changes. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to empower people to move towards a more fulfilling life. If someone is ready to try talking with a counsellor, Lisa offers practical support and ongoing encouragement throughout the process.

Client-centred support and online sessions

Client-centred therapy places the person at the core of the work. The counsellor listens carefully and follows the client’s lead, helping people clarify their goals and make decisions that suit their life. This approach is useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief, stress and relationship worries.

In sessions that focus on trauma or loss the same client-centred stance still applies. The counsellor offers steady, patient listening and adapts to the pace each person needs when talking about painful experiences or life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit the person. This collaborative planning helps match practical methods to what an individual wants to change.

Online therapy here is offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is close to an in-person conversation, phone can be easier with lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for brief check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and busy days.
