Lisa Johnson, BACP

Lisa Johnson works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also focuses on issues such as guilt and shame, loneliness, finding life purpose, men's issues, mood difficulties, narcissism and women's issues. Lisa presents in a calm, respectful way and aims to make first steps feel manageable for a worried person.

She trained in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to shape her practice. She has three years of professional experience supporting people through hard times. Her background includes volunteering with Cruse and Family Lives and running a free community counselling service for a charity.

Lisa has led a men's mental health peer support group, giving her direct experience of group-based peer work alongside one-to-one counselling. She adapts conversations to suit each person's needs and pace. The emphasis is on practical talk and agreed goals rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are conversational and collaborative. Lisa helps people name what matters, try small changes, and build coping steps that fit everyday life. She aims to offer a supportive space and to help people feel more able to manage day-to-day pressures.

People can expect a personalised plan rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Lisa reviews progress and adjusts the plan as needed, helping clients move towards clearer priorities and steadier routines.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Lisa practises evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach is talking therapy that helps you identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding to stress and anxiety; this is useful for everyday worry and mood difficulties. Another approach involves working through trauma and loss at a pace you can manage, helping to reduce intrusive memories and rebuild a sense of safety and routine.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and life situation, and will review progress together so the plan can be adjusted as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel and allowing appointments around work or childcare. It can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits you, or sessions without video if that feels better for concentration or energy levels. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss practical arrangements to help sessions fit into daily routines.
