Lisa Powell

Lisa Powell is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also helps people facing trauma, grief, parenting pressures, and life changes like career shifts or a diagnosis.

She draws on several complementary approaches to shape sessions around each person. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused when needed, while also allowing time to look at deeper patterns linked to attachment and life meaning. The aim is to help people make clearer choices and feel steadier day to day.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings are listened to and reflected back. The therapist works to build trust and a supportive working relationship so clients can try new ways of coping and relating. Practical strategies are offered alongside longer-term reflection when that feels helpful.

Lisa has worked with a wide range of concerns over her career, including ADHD, bipolar, eating and anger issues, and neurodiversity matters such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and bereavement.

Starting therapy is recognised as a brave step. The therapist encourages gradual progress, adapting pace and focus to each person’s needs so change feels manageable and relevant.

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape the way people form bonds today. It can help with trust, abandonment worries and recurring patterns in close relationships. Client-Centred Therapy concentrates on listening without judgement and following the client's lead so people feel heard and respected while they decide what change they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work together with the client to identify goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods over time. This collaborative process means sessions can be tailored to what helps most for the problems at hand.

Please confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not detailed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, reduce time spent commuting, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access therapists who practise in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere, helping therapy fit into everyday life without requiring major rearrangement.
