Lisa Harvey, BACP

Lisa Harvey is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on stress and anxiety, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting-related strain. Her approach is warm and respectful, and she aims to make the first contact as straightforward as possible for worried parents.

She spends time listening so she can tailor conversations and plans to each person’s situation. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, whether that is reducing day-to-day anxiety, managing low mood, or dealing with past hurt.

Her work often covers communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also helps people clarify life purpose and build self-love after difficult experiences. Social anxiety and phobia are other areas she addresses in practical ways.

Lisa describes therapy as a collaborative process where small changes grow into more noticeable shifts. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to suit individual needs and goals. Appointments include open dialogue and tasks agreed together between sessions.

People come for short-term focused work or to explore deeper, longer problems. She aims to offer a calm, steady presence while helping people find realistic steps forward. If someone wants to begin, they follow the site’s onboarding to match with her and book a session.

How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical ways to change thoughts, feelings and actions. One common approach helps people identify patterns that feed anxiety and then try small experiments to reduce worry and avoidance. This can be useful for social anxiety, panic or ongoing stress.

Another useful strand works with painful memories and reactions after trauma or abuse. It supports people to tell their story at a pace that feels manageable and to develop coping skills for intense emotions. This approach often includes grounding and daily strategies to reduce overwhelm.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try things out, and refine the plan based on what helps most. That decision is collaborative and shaped by the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into everyday life easier, for example by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or childcare. Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Registered or accredited professionals aim to match practical methods to a person’s circumstances so therapy can slot into their routine.
