Lisa Crosby, BACP

Lisa Crosby is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes. Lisa acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and treats each person as the expert in their own story.

She uses straightforward conversation to help people notice their strengths. Sessions aim to build motivation, confidence and practical ways to cope when life shifts or feels overwhelming. Lisa also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse.

Her work includes attention to body image, feelings of isolation, guilt and shame, and issues common in young adulthood. She also offers support around sexual assault and self-harm concerns, and understands pressures faced by first responders. Lisa discusses goals with each person and adapts her approach to what they need in the room.

Clients can expect direct, respectful talk and a focus on small, manageable steps. The emphasis is on what helps in day-to-day life rather than jargon or long theory. Lisa aims to make therapy useful and accessible for people juggling busy lives.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Lisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is goal-oriented conversation that helps people break big problems into small steps and try new behaviours; this approach suits stress, low motivation and life transitions. Another typical technique involves talking through past hurts and current responses so that people can understand patterns and reduce shame or isolation; this helps with trauma, relationship strain and issues such as sexual assault and abuse.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and personal preferences together and pick methods that fit the person rather than applying one fixed model. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy here is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when broadband allows. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days and allow ongoing reflection between scheduled sessions. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and other commitments.
