About Lisa
Lisa Wan is a counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and complex trauma. She is BACP registered, and brings a gentle, person-centred way of working that aims to help people feel heard and understood. Her background includes many years supporting people through grief, relationship strain, and issues such as addictions and self-esteem struggles.
She trained originally as a Holistic Therapist in 1998 and later qualified as a person-centred counsellor. Over nine years of counselling experience include roles at Leicester Woman’s Counselling Centre and First Step, which supports male survivors of sexual abuse and rape. She also attends continuing professional development and specialised workshops to keep her practice current.
In sessions she focuses on building a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what feels hard. Lisa describes her work as integrative, drawing on attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, solution-focused steps, and trauma-focused methods to suit each person. She aims to tailor the approach to the issue and the person rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Her practice includes helping people manage sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue, and the emotional impact of chronic pain or illness. Lisa also supports those dealing with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, dissociation, and issues around intimacy and jealousy. She is experienced with clients affected by domestic violence, codependency, and workplace stress.
People seeking to explore money and financial issues alongside emotional concerns may also find it helpful to talk through how thoughts, beliefs and feelings affect decisions and behaviour. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to connect and book a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Attachment-based ideas focus on relationships and patterns that formed early in life. In practice this means the counsellor helps people notice how old ways of relating show up now and how they affect stress, intimacy and money-related behaviours.Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to the person, which can help with low self-esteem, grief or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with the person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. Over time the approach can be adjusted to focus more on practical steps, trauma processing or mindful skills depending on what helps most.
The biography does not list which remote session types are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also enables continuing support when circumstances change, while keeping therapy focused on the issues that matter most.
