Lisa Chadwick, BACP

Lisa Chadwick uses a person-focused way of working that centres on each person's experience. She creates space for people to talk about stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and depression. Lisa holds a British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, BACP, and brings ten years of practice in the United Kingdom.

Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She listens first and helps people set small, clear goals they can try between meetings. Cognitive behavioural techniques may be used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of coping.

Lisa also draws on solution-focused ideas to identify strengths and build on what already works. That can make sessions feel action-oriented and hopeful when people face life changes, grief, or problems with self-esteem. She adapts her approach to the concern and the pace the person prefers.

People often come with issues linked to family, parenting and communication. Lisa supports work on boundaries, emotions, and rebuilding trust after loss or separation. She can also address complex topics such as addiction, dissociation, attachment wounds and the impact of illness.

Practical arrangements include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Lisa asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire, then helps schedule sessions that fit the person's needs and routines.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and aims to provide an accepting space where they can talk through feelings. It helps with issues like grief, self-esteem and navigating life changes by following the person's priorities and pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to test new ways of thinking. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression and coping strategies that people can practice between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small steps that move a person toward their goals. It is often used when someone wants concrete changes, such as improving communication, managing cravings, or rebuilding routines after a separation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a quieter space and fuller interaction are wanted. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between appointments, or people who prefer not to be on camera.
