Lisa Szramowski offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She writes plainly and listens closely so clients can say what matters and start making small, steady changes. Lisa aims to help people feel more capable and resourced as they cope with life’s ups and downs.

Lisa holds BACP, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has seven years of recent experience working therapeutically.

Background and approach

Her practice focuses on common life struggles such as depression and coping with life changes, along with related concerns including motivation and confidence. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency and commitment concerns, and difficulties around communication and control.

She also supports people facing chronic pain, illness and fertility challenges, as well as those dealing with divorce, blended family tensions and feelings of emptiness, guilt or shame. In sessions Lisa uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people learn practical skills. Conversations are down-to-earth and aimed at building coping tools that fit everyday life.

She encourages clients to try techniques between sessions so progress continues outside the room. People who choose Lisa can expect a warm, non-judgemental space and a practical focus on clear next steps. She works with English speakers in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients for remote therapy when that suits the person.

Practical approaches for online counselling

Lisa uses clear, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on everyday change. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills and problem-solving strategies to manage anxiety and stress, helping people break problems into manageable steps. Another approach emphasises exploring attachment and abandonment patterns to understand how past relationships affect current feelings and behaviour, which can help when dealing with relationship pain or emptiness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative decision is reviewed over time so the method can be adjusted if something else would work better.

Online therapy offers flexible options to suit different needs. Video calls provide the closest match to face-to-face sessions when fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when movement or looking at a screen feels difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and support between longer sessions. These choices make it easier to fit therapy around work, health or family commitments and help people maintain regular contact with their counsellor.
