About Lisa

Lisa Johnson works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and coping with life changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and brings three years of professional experience. Lisa is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

She helps people talk through difficult feelings in a straightforward way. Sessions focus on current problems, practical ways to cope, and developing clearer thinking about difficult situations. Lisa aims to adapt conversations to what each person needs and to agree next steps together.

Her background includes volunteering with Cruse and Family Lives and running a free community counselling service for a charity. She has also facilitated a men's mental health peer support group. These roles gave experience working with grief, relationship difficulties, and isolation.

In sessions she uses approaches grounded in evidence to address mood, motivation and self-esteem concerns. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness and questions about life purpose. Practical coping strategies and clearer routines are common parts of the work.

Lisa describes her work as respectful and sensitive. She aims to help people notice what helps them feel steadier and to build small, manageable changes into everyday life. The initial meetings focus on what matters now and on practical next steps.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online counselling

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching simple strategies to reduce worry, manage mood and build routine. This can help with stress, anxiety and low motivation.

A second approach concentrates on talking through difficult events and their effects, helping people make sense of traumatic or painful experiences and find ways to move forward. This work often includes careful pacing and attention to what feels manageable for the person.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options, review what helps, and agree a plan based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting counselling around work or family routines and reducing travel time. If you need a quieter space or a shorter check-in, those practical needs can be discussed when arranging sessions. Please confirm the current session formats before booking to make sure they meet your needs.
