Lisa McCormack, BACP

Lisa McCormack offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She is a BACP counsellor with three years of experience and focuses on helping clients rebuild confidence, manage mood difficulties and find clearer ways forward.

She meets people who feel stuck in people-pleasing patterns or who struggle to set boundaries after difficult relationships. She also works with those facing burnout, low self-esteem, panic attacks, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her approach aims to be steady and straightforward so people can start making small changes quickly.

Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix lets sessions be warm and listening-led while also using practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and develop coping habits.

In sessions she helps people make sense of their emotions, try new ways of thinking, and build day-to-day skills for dealing with stress and pain. She offers particular support around boundaries, recovering self-worth after harmful relationships, and navigating separation or major life shifts.

Lisa works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. If someone is ready to begin, they can choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and building a trusting relationship. In practice this means the therapist reflects back what someone says, helps them feel heard, and follows their lead on what matters most. It is useful for people trying to make sense of emotional pain or rebuild confidence.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for anxiety, panic and low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple paying-attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. These techniques can help with rumination, stress and adjusting to change.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to pick methods that match needs, goals and personal preferences, and can adapt things as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that combining warm listening with CBT homework and brief mindfulness practices adapts well to remote sessions.
