About Lisa
Lisa Howarth is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with relationship strains, grief, addiction and trauma. Lisa works with issues around intimacy, sexuality, neurodivergence and life transitions.
She has seven years of practice and holds BACP accreditation. Lisa takes a calm, down-to-earth approach in sessions. Conversations are person-centred and paced to suit each individual.
She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, self-blame or emotional disconnection and helps people notice how those patterns affect daily life.
Background and approach
In practical work she uses a mix of approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, can help untangle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness techniques support grounding and noticing sensations in the moment.
Somatic and trauma-focused tools are offered when early experiences or bodily responses need attention. She is neurodiversity-aware and an LGBTQIA+ ally, so identity and sexual concerns can be discussed without judgement. Lisa offers a steady space for people who have experienced sexual abuse or who find intimacy difficult to talk about.
Sessions can cover boundaries, attachment, communication and rebuilding self-compassion. Lisa aims to help people reconnect with their needs and make practical changes. Her manner is warm and practical, focused on small steps that fit everyday life.

Online support
She also uses mindfulness practices to help people manage stress and stay present during difficult moments. These are simple exercises that can be practised during a brief video call or as short audio-guided tasks between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging lets people write when it is easier to express themselves. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
