Lisa Rowley is a counsellor with six years' experience in the United Kingdom. She draws on her work in independent practice and in schools to offer calm, straightforward support. Lisa aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to help people take practical steps forward.

She keeps sessions simple and compassionate. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what feels important to the person in front of her.

Background and approach

Lisa listens first, then helps identify patterns and small changes that can improve day-to-day life. Her work covers stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people coping with life changes, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, sleep difficulties and anger.

Relationship and family concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue and chronic health worries are included in her practice. Lisa uses a mix of client-centred talking, cognitive behavioural techniques and psychodynamic thinking. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, and Imago approaches when they suit the client.

These methods are chosen to match each person's goals and pace. Sessions can be by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Lisa works in English and supports people across the UK.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that suits the client. She aims to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can explore feelings and build coping skills. Lisa focuses on steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches work online and in person

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflecting feelings and helping them arrive at their own solutions; this helps with low mood, self-esteem and life decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, depressive patterns and unhelpful habits.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, helps where past events feel stuck in the body and mind. It aims to reduce the intensity of those memories so they cause less distress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a joint task. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels manageable, then suggest methods to try. Plans can change as work progresses and new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers different ways to meet depending on what fits your routine. Video calls let you see facial cues and build rapport. Phone sessions work well when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing helps you organise thoughts.

These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caregiving and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so progress is practical and steady, even when sessions happen remotely.
