Lisa Powell

Lisa Powell is a BACP counsellor with fourteen years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety and anger, and supports people facing depression, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. Lisa aims to make the first step into therapy easier by offering a calm, straightforward welcome.

She uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what the client wants to achieve, with tools drawn from cognitive behavioural ideas and attachment-based thinking when helpful. Work can include short-term strategies for coping, and deeper exploration of personal history and patterns.

Lisa tries to keep sessions simple and direct. She listens without judgement and helps people name what is happening, spot unhelpful patterns, and try out different ways of responding. Practical exercises, reflective conversations and gentle challenges are used as needed.

Many people meet her to talk about family stress, parenting pressures, identity and intimacy issues, or to manage life changes such as bereavement or illness. She also supports people dealing with long-term difficulties like bipolar disorder, ADHD and chronic health problems by focusing on day-to-day coping and clearer routines.

Her approach aims to build trust and self-understanding so people can make changes that fit their life. To begin, the reader is encouraged to follow the service sign-up steps and complete the short matching questionnaire to find a suitable time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people who notice repeating relationship problems or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and helping people find their own answers; it suits those who want a non-directive, supportive space to think things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change thoughts and behaviours, which can help with anxiety, anger and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, then suggest a mix of methods to try. That decision is revisited as therapy progresses so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, remote sessions help maintain continuity during life changes and support steady progress with day-to-day coping strategies.
