About Lisa
Lisa Bell supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to LGBTQ+ identity. She also helps with depression, grief, addictions and relationship difficulties. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and offers steady support as people work towards a more satisfying life.
Lisa practises as an integrative counsellor and holds a BA (Hons) degree with first class honours. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Background and approach
Her three years of professional experience have included work with people affected by rape and domestic abuse. Her way of working is straightforward. Lisa treats each person as the expert on their own life.
She focuses on building on strengths while gently addressing what gets in the way. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than full of jargon. Clients can expect a calm, patient presence and a pace set by their needs.
Lisa pays attention to safety and to small changes that make a difference over time. She aims to help people develop clearer thinking and more useful coping habits. Beyond immediate crises she supports people with longer term concerns such as parenting strain, sleep problems, career uncertainty and compassion fatigue.
Her wider focus includes attachment and abandonment issues, body image, chronic illness and communication problems. Lisa welcomes people from different backgrounds and life stages who want respectful, practical counselling.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lisa will discuss different options and adapt methods to a person's goals, preferences and pace. Together they decide what to try first and review progress as therapy continues.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These formats make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, parenting and other commitments while still focusing on meaningful change.
