Lisa McCormack offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She introduces simple steps that can help when low mood, panic or loss make everyday life harder. Lisa writes in a direct, compassionate way and focuses on what will help now.

She uses an integrative approach that pulls together client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Sessions aim to help people make sense of painful feelings while learning new ways to cope.

Background and approach

That can include spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioural changes and building gentle self-care routines. Lisa has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, abuse, burnout and relationship difficulties.

She also offers support around body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and challenges such as guilt, shame or isolation. Conversations with Lisa focus on clarity and practical next steps. She encourages people to set boundaries, recover their confidence and reconnect with what matters.

Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client and aim to leave people feeling more able to manage day-to-day life. Therapy is offered in English to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines and needs.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so the client can explore feelings and find their own solutions. This approach helps with emotional overwhelm, low self-worth and decision points.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It involves simple exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness through short practices. It can ease rumination, improve emotional regulation and support coping with stress and chronic pain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods collaboratively so sessions feel useful and manageable. Clients and counsellor decide together which techniques to try and when to change direction.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins possible and can fit into a busy day. These options help people keep continuity of care while balancing work, family and travel.
