About Lisa
Lisa Guy works on relationship issues, self-esteem, career questions, depression and coping with life changes. She uses an integrative approach and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience in counselling practice after a 19-year career in IT.
Lisa draws on person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to help people talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on understanding reactions and making sense of life events. She aims to help people notice what matters to them and develop clearer ways of responding.
Her background in IT, retail and market research informs how she looks at work-related stress and workplace issues. That experience also shapes her interest in communication problems and how work life can affect personal life. She has volunteered with local organisations and provided mentoring support earlier in her career.
Many clients come to Lisa concerned about isolation, forgiveness, family problems and self-love. She offers a steady, conversational approach that helps people reflect on patterns and practical steps they might take. Sessions move at a pace the client feels able to manage.
Lisa holds a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a Registered Member of BACP. She continues to develop her practice and aims to work towards accreditation in time.
Therapeutic approaches and remote sessions
Lisa draws on person-centred work which focuses on open conversation and listening to how the client describes their experience; this helps with self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also uses humanistic ideas that look at personal values and choices to support coping with life changes and career decisions.
Her use of psychodynamic ideas helps clients notice recurring patterns from past experiences that affect current relationships and mood. That approach can be useful for understanding communication problems, family issues and feelings of isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to the client’s needs, goals and preferences in collaboration with them.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offer remote sessions that let people combine counselling with work and daily life commitments.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
