About Lisa

Lisa Roberts, BACP, helps people work through stress, anxiety, parenting strains, addiction concerns and relationship issues. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, self-esteem struggles, ADHD and adoption and foster care questions. Her approach is warm and straightforward, with an emphasis on talking things through so clients can set practical goals and make steady progress.

She works in a person-centred way, which means sessions focus on the client’s own experience and priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavioural changes. Mindfulness and motivational interview ideas are brought in when they suit the work at hand.

Lisa has nine years of experience and holds BACP accreditation. That background includes running mental health first aid and self-care courses and offering creative counselling approaches when helpful. She has worked with a wide range of concerns across different ages and life stages.

In typical sessions she listens, reflects and helps people identify realistic next steps. The aim is practical support rather than labels or quick fixes. She encourages clients to pace the work and to focus on what matters most to them.

People interested in adoption and foster care matters will find she names that focus area among others. Before booking, clients can check the session format and scheduling details to make sure they match their needs.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Client-centred work places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor listening closely and helping people decide what matters most. This way of working is useful for people who want a steady, exploratory process rather than quick directives.

Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and encourages small experiments to test different behaviours. It can help with anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and many daily-life difficulties.

Motivational interviewing focuses on helping people find their own motivation to change and can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about the next steps.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options, try techniques that fit the client’s goals, and adapt the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process where preferences and practical needs guide decisions.

Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter surroundings, limit video use if preferred, or schedule sessions around work or childcare commitments.
