About Lisa

Lisa Wan works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and depression using a person-centred and integrative approach. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years' experience in counselling.

She draws on client-centred principles to help people talk through what is troubling them. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and exploring practical ways to cope. Lisa also uses trauma-focused methods when past harm is central to a person's difficulties.

Her background includes work with Leicester Woman’s Counselling Centre and with First Step, a service for male survivors of sexual abuse and rape. Before training as a counsellor she qualified as a holistic therapist in 1998 and used that experience to notice how talk-based work helped people as much as physical treatments.

Lisa keeps her practice current by attending continuing professional development workshops and specialised training. She receives monthly clinical supervision and works in line with the BACP Ethical Framework. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, addiction, sleep problems, anger and coping with life changes.

People who come to her can expect an integrative style that combines attachment-based thinking, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when these suit the presenting issue. She aims to work with each person's goals and preferences while drawing on methods that fit their situation.

How her approaches are used in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, reflection and supporting a person's own problem-solving. It helps when someone needs space to talk through emotions and make sense of their experience. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help with relationship, intimacy and trust issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and to help with anxiety, sleep problems and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options and help decide which methods suit a person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative selection can change over time as progress is made and different issues arise.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into everyday life easier by removing travel time and allowing appointments around work or caring responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed and can avoid being on camera if that is preferred. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective care through remote appointments when the format fits a person's practical needs and goals.
