Lisa Anderson , BACP

Lisa Anderson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and the effects of trauma and abuse. She sees clients who are dealing with intimacy-related issues, grief, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Her practice also addresses ADHD, LGBT concerns, relationship and family stress, and a range of other personal struggles such as abandonment and isolation.

She works from a person-centred stance that keeps the client at the heart of the work. Lisa aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and understood. She uses mindfulness and attention to bodily sensations as part of sessions, inviting clients to notice thoughts, feelings and physical responses.

Lisa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas. These approaches help people connect with their values, understand relational patterns, and repair emotional bonds in close relationships. She also uses existential questions to help people find meaning in difficult times.

Her background includes five years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and a long personal practice in spirituality, mindfulness and meditation that influences her way of working. Lisa holds BACP, which is recorded here as the supplied credential.

Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. She listens first, follows what is most helpful, and offers gentle guidance toward noticing physical experience and building new ways of coping. The overall aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage their lives.

How Lisa's Approaches Guide Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take steps that match what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and reactions. It can help people understand feelings of abandonment, trust issues and intimacy problems.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on an empathic, respectful relationship. The therapist listens carefully and follows the client's pace, which supports people who need a calm, steady space to talk.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That collaboration may mean trying different ways of working until something feels helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship and the practical steps you want to take.
