About Lisa
Lisa Rowley has practised as a counsellor for six years. She has worked in private practice and in schools supporting young people affected by domestic abuse. Lisa focuses on building a calm, non-judgemental space where people can begin to talk about what is worrying them.
She listens carefully and helps people name the root causes of their struggles. From there she and the person agree simple, practical steps to try between sessions. Lisa aims to make sessions feel straightforward and grounded rather than overwhelming.
Her work covers common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and sleeping difficulties. She also supports people facing career change, compassion fatigue, addiction concerns, anger, and relationship or communication problems. Money and financial issues are included among the topics she helps people tackle.
Lisa uses a mix of ways to work depending on the person’s needs. These include client-centred work that follows the person’s lead, cognitive behavioural techniques to change unhelpful thinking and EMDR where trauma memories are affecting daily life. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused tools when they fit the situation.
She treats people with respect and sensitivity and aims to make counselling feel like a shared effort. To begin, Lisa asks straightforward questions and helps people set realistic steps for change. This keeps the work practical and focused on what matters to the individual.
How Lisa’s approaches can work online
Client-centred work places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and focuses on listening, empathy and what the person wants to address; it helps when someone needs acceptance and space to make sense of things. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises for worries, low mood or sleep trouble. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to reduce the hold of disturbing memories and can be helpful when past events are getting in the way of daily life.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the person to decide which approach or combination feels most helpful, taking account of goals and personal preferences. That choice can change as the work progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific session formats offered before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around work and family life, and it can make short check-ins or weekly sessions simpler to schedule. Online sessions can also be adapted to quieter times, reduce travel, or make it easier to link into therapy when balancing caregiving or shift work.
