Lisa Rowley, BACP

Lisa Rowley has worked as a counsellor for over six years. She has run a independent practice and supported young people in schools who have experienced domestic abuse. Lisa practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.

She aims to create a non-judgemental, empathic space where people can talk about what is troubling them. In sessions she listens, reflects, and helps clients name the key issues. Together she and the client identify practical steps to move forward.

Lisa draws on a mix of approaches to suit each person. She uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the client. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help change unhelpful thoughts and patterns.

For people who have experienced overwhelming memories or trauma, she has experience using EMDR work alongside other therapies. She also offers psychodynamic and Imago-informed elements where exploring relationship patterns and early experiences can help make sense of current difficulties.

She supports people with a wide range of concerns. These include stress and anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, family and relationship difficulties, sleep problems, anger, career worries and compassion fatigue. Lisa also helps with issues such as abandonment, attachment, chronic illness, communication problems, control issues and financial stress.

If you decide to begin, she will work with you at your pace and co-create a plan that fits your goals. To start, use the site Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Lisa uses client-centred work to follow what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on listening carefully, reflecting back what is said, and helping clients feel understood so they can explore their own solutions.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT tends to involve practical exercises and small steps to change patterns that keep problems going.

EMDR is offered as part of her trauma-informed practice and can help people who have disturbing memories that continue to affect day-to-day life. In EMDR sessions she works through a structured process to reduce the hold of those memories alongside other therapeutic work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options with each person and agree a plan based on needs, goals and personal preference. This is a collaborative process and adjustments can be made as therapy progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not specify which session formats are used, please confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor session length and frequency to practical constraints and everyday commitments.
