Lisa Walton, BACP

Lisa Walton works from a client-centred approach and uses cognitive behavioural techniques to support people facing stress and anxiety. She presents herself as a collaborator who listens and looks for strengths clients can use. Lisa holds BACP registration and draws on three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

She helps people cope with trauma and abuse, low mood and the strain of life changes such as grief, illness or losing work. Neurodiversity and ADHD are also areas she attends to, with practical steps to manage day-to-day challenges. Lisa aims to make sessions straightforward and grounded in what matters to each person.

Her style is conversational and strengths-focused. She encourages clients to name small steps that feel possible and to build on what already works for them. Cognitive behavioural tools are used alongside client-centred listening to identify unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses.

Lisa also offers support around chronic pain, long-term illness, loneliness, questions of life purpose, personality difficulties and self-worth. She works to tailor sessions to an individual’s concerns rather than applying one fixed method.

Clients begin by describing what they most want to change. From there Lisa and the client agree on practical goals and review progress along the way. The emphasis is on workable strategies and steady, achievable change.

How Lisa's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead. It emphasises understanding a person's experience and helping them find their own solutions, which can help with low mood, life transitions and building self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) involves noticing patterns of thinking and testing small behavioural changes. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and practical daily difficulties such as managing symptoms of ADHD.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will talk through options and agree on methods that suit the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the specific formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove travel time. Many people find it useful because sessions can be scheduled around work, medical appointments or other commitments, making regular progress more feasible.
