Lisa Ellerton, BACP

Lisa Ellerton is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She offers a calm, welcoming space for people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, addiction or relationship strain. Lisa introduces herself in a straightforward way and aims to make it easy to talk about difficult feelings.

She works with adults who are coping with depression and major life changes. Lisa also supports people dealing with grief, chronic illness or caregiving stress. Her background includes working with neurodivergent people and she understands how sensory differences and social challenges can affect mood and anxiety.

Sessions focus on listening first and then helping people find practical ways to feel steadier. Lisa pays attention to how the body and emotions connect, and she uses that understanding when talking through symptoms like panic, low mood or compulsive behaviours. Conversations move at the client’s pace and priorities guide each session.

Her approach is straightforward and respectful. She encourages gentle exploration of attachment and abandonment concerns, relationship difficulties, dissociation, and codependency. Lisa also supports people facing issues linked to ageing, cancer, and domestic violence.

Clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging for regular work. Starting involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits the client’s needs. Costs vary with region and the subscription plan can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches fit with online therapy

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that look at thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. This can be useful for stress, panic and depressive symptoms.

She also pays attention to the link between the body and emotion. Approaches that include somatic awareness help people recognise physical signs of stress and learn ways to calm the nervous system, which can be helpful for chronic pain, trauma reactions and dissociation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to agree which techniques suit their goals, preferences and what they find manageable. That choice can change over time as the client responds to therapy.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a work break. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing to talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and can make it easier to access regular support.
