Lisa Anderson

Lisa Anderson offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief and a range of intimacy-related issues. She also helps people facing challenges such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, eating and food-related struggles, and midlife change. Lisa works with LGBT and gender dysphoria concerns and with those coping with separation, infidelity, guilt, shame and isolation.

Lisa practises in the United Kingdom and has five years of professional experience. She holds BACP, which is shown as her credential. Her work is warm and person-centred. She aims to build a kind, honest and respectful counselling relationship as the starting point for change.

Her sessions emphasise present-moment awareness and body noticing. Lisa often invites people to pay attention to physical sensations alongside their thoughts and feelings. This mindful way of working draws on long personal practice in meditation, mindfulness and somatic methods.

Lisa uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, emotionally-focused and existential perspectives. She pays attention to how early attachment patterns and current relationships shape emotional life and behaviour.

Clients can expect a collaborative style where the therapist listens, follows and gently guides. Lisa describes the work as practical and relational - helping people find small, doable steps to feel steadier and clearer about what they want next.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Lisa often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas in her work. ACT helps people notice their thoughts without getting stuck and choose values-based actions, which can suit anxiety, depression and life transitions. Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings and behaviour, helping with intimacy issues, abandonment and codependency.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work together with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can be adjusted as the work unfolds and different strategies tried over time.

If you are considering online sessions, check the platform for the formats currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer online sessions to keep continuity during life changes, and a therapist can help decide how best to structure sessions to suit individual routines and goals.
