About Lisa

Lisa Harvey is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. Lisa also helps with issues such as communication problems, guilt and shame, forgiveness, isolation, social anxiety and questions about life purpose.

In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversations. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people talk through next steps. Therapy often involves identifying patterns that make stress and worry worse and practising small changes that fit daily life.

Her approach adapts to each person’s situation rather than following a single script. That can mean working on communication skills, addressing painful memories at a manageable pace, or looking at beliefs that feed shame or low self-worth. Sessions can also focus on practical parenting strategies and repairing strained relationships.

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the process and keeps explanations straightforward. She aims to help people who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships or health think through what matters to them now. Conversations include short-term goals and simple exercises to try between sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Approaches used and how online sessions fit

Lisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding to anxiety and self-doubt. This approach is useful for stress, social anxiety and low mood because it breaks problems into manageable steps.

Another approach supports working through painful experiences at a steady pace. It focuses on helping people talk about difficult memories, reduce their immediate distress, and build coping skills to handle triggers. This can help when trauma, shame or family conflict are affecting daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods and together decide which fits the client’s goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, with room to adjust techniques as conversations progress.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If you need help working out which style or format suits you, the matching questionnaire and first session are designed to clarify that.
