Lisa Guy, BACP

Lisa Guy helps people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, workplace stress, depression and major life changes. She also offers support for communication problems, family difficulties, forgiveness, loneliness and self-love. Lisa uses a warm, non-judgemental manner so people can talk about what matters most to them.

She creates a calm space for clients to explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. Conversations aim to bring clearer understanding of life events and choices. Over time people often notice small changes that make daily life feel more manageable.

Lisa works in an integrative way, drawing on person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. This means she adapts what happens in sessions to each person rather than following one fixed method. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping clients find practical ways forward.

Before training as a counsellor Lisa spent 19 years in IT and also worked in retail and market research. That work experience informs her understanding of workplace pressures and how they affect home life. She has volunteered with community organisations and provided mentoring support, which shaped her interest in counselling.

She holds a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Lisa has three years' experience working with people from a range of backgrounds. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions to suit their schedule.

Sessions are conducted in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches and how they fit online

Lisa draws on person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. Person-centred work focuses on listening and helping people feel understood, which can help with low self-esteem and relationship worries. Humanistic approaches emphasise personal growth and self-understanding, useful for people facing life changes or career decisions. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from past experience that affect current feelings and relationships, which can be helpful when exploring long-standing relationship or family issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work together with the client to identify which ways of working suit their goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people who prefer to meet from a familiar space or who need more flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical arrangements and recommend the best format for each person's situation.
