About Lisa
Lisa Kelley is a counsellor with twenty years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical help for stress, anxiety, depression and trauma-related concerns. Lisa aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion so they feel heard and understood.
She uses a client-centred approach, which means conversations follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs rather than a fixed protocol.
Background and approach
That allows space to address issues such as low self-esteem, lack of motivation, grief and coping with life changes. Lisa also offers support for a wide range of concerns including addiction, sleeping and eating issues, career strain, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
Additional areas she can talk through include attachment and relationship difficulties, body image, caregiving stress and challenges connected to adoption or foster care. Her way of working is collaborative and practical. She will listen first, then help set goals that feel realistic.
Conversations can explore feelings, build coping strategies and identify small steps forward. People who come to Lisa often want straightforward, down-to-earth help rather than technical language. She aims to empower clients to make changes at a pace that suits them and to regain a greater sense of control over day-to-day life.

Approaches Lisa lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In practice the counsellor will use this style to build a trusting working relationship online. Together they will decide which techniques and pacing suit the client's needs and goals. That collaborative process means the approach can shift as progress is made or priorities change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people access regular sessions even with work or family commitments and provide flexibility in how they keep therapy going.
