Lisa McAndrew

Lisa McAndrew offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and anger. She also helps those facing relationship strain, sleep and eating struggles, addictions, and life changes. Lisa’s approach aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Lisa works in a calm, non-judgemental way that invites people to talk about what matters to them. She creates time to listen and reflect rather than rush to solutions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what small steps might make life easier.

Over seven years she has supported people with trauma and abuse, attachment and adoption issues, codependency, dissociation and bipolar concerns. She also works with obsessive thoughts, phobias, self-harm and issues linked to identity and women’s health. This breadth means she can often draw on different ideas to suit each person’s situation.

Her practical methods include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques and hypnotherapy. In sessions she mixes talking, practical exercises and goal-setting so people can try out new ways of coping between meetings.

Lisa holds NCPS after her name, which is shown as a professional credential. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers her practice in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of each session. The therapist listens, reflects and follows the listener’s pace so people feel heard and understood; this can help when discussing anger, grief or ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new responses; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood and anger when someone wants tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss goals, try techniques and adjust the focus based on what helps most. That collaborative process means the method can change as a person learns what fits their life and aims.

The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions around daily routines and fewer travel requirements, which can make regular contact simpler to maintain. Online meetings can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick follow-up suits the person's schedule, or quieter, less intensive sessions when bandwidth or time is limited.
