About Lisa
Lisa Ellerton is a counsellor who practices in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She offers a calm, welcoming space for people to talk through anxiety, stress, depression and addictive behaviours. Lisa aims to make sessions approachable and straightforward so clients can take the next step at their own pace.
She has three years of professional experience and works with adults, young people and older children aged 12 and over. Lisa helps people facing life changes, bereavement, relationship difficulties and the emotional impact of illness or caregiving. She also has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent and understands how social and sensory challenges can affect wellbeing.
Sessions focus on what is happening now and practical steps to manage it. Lisa listens for the patterns that maintain worry, low mood or unhelpful behaviours and then helps people try different ways of responding. Work can include talking about past events when that helps make sense of present struggles.
Her approach is warm and genuine, with an emphasis on pacing that suits each person. Lisa aims to build a trusting working relationship so people feel able to try new coping strategies between sessions. The counselling relationship is treated as a collaborative space for making clearer choices.
People considering counselling are encouraged to think about what they want to change or feel differently about. Lisa can help set small, realistic goals and review progress as therapy continues.
How evidence-based techniques fit with online counselling
Many of Lisa's sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on patterns of thinking and behaviour. One approach helps people spot the thoughts and habits that keep anxiety or low mood going and then practise different responses to those thoughts. This can help reduce repeated worry and make daily life feel more manageable.She also uses approaches that address past events when they continue to affect how someone copes today. These methods aim to help people name difficult experiences and learn new ways to respond, which can ease symptoms linked to trauma or longstanding relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as new needs emerge during therapy.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins by phone or video when that better matches someone’s day. Registered or accredited professionals can explain which session formats they offer and help choose what will fit best.
