Lisa Ali uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client at the heart of each session. She builds a calm, accepting space so people can talk through what matters to them. Lisa draws on six years of practice and a BA Honours degree in Humanistic Counselling to guide conversations that help clients find clarity and direction.

She focuses on everyday problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and addictions.

Background and approach

Lisa also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and intimacy-related concerns. Other areas she works with include eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, career worries and compassion fatigue. Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen deeply and follow the client’s lead.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set practical goals and make small changes that add up. For trauma-related work she applies Trauma-Focused Therapy to address difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily life. Her background includes professional training in humanistic counselling and ongoing continuing professional development courses.

Lisa has completed CPD work on online and telephone counselling and attended workshops on bereavement, shame and working with complex emotional material. Sessions are offered in English and Lisa accepts international clients. People can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.

She encourages a pace that feels right for each person and works collaboratively to build coping skills and greater resilience.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating an accepting space where the client chooses the pace and topics of conversation. It helps people who need to feel heard as they work through emotional struggles and decisions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals. This approach suits people who want concrete strategies to change patterns and to measure progress between sessions.

Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses distressing memories and reactions using targeted steps to reduce their day-to-day impact and increase coping ability.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work together with the client to decide what fits best. Conversations about needs, goals and preferences shape which methods are used and how sessions are structured so the work stays collaborative and goal-orientated.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when non-verbal cues matter and when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is preferable. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection and people who express themselves better in text. These options help clients fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
