Lisa Harvey, BACP

Lisa Harvey uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress and anxiety. She brings three years of UK practice to conversations about parenting, trauma and family tensions. Lisa writes and listens in a calm, respectful way to help people feel heard and understood.

She focuses on practical steps that fit into everyday life. Sessions look at patterns that keep problems going and try new ways of responding. Parents may work on coping strategies, communication and balancing demands. People affected by past abuse can take time to process what happened at a pace that feels safe for them.

Lisa adapts the session to each person rather than following one rigid method. This means conversations, short exercises and goal-setting that match what feels useful. She aims to make work between sessions manageable and relevant to day-to-day routines.

Her approach also addresses shame, guilt and difficulties with forgiveness. Social anxiety and feelings of isolation are explored with practical techniques to increase confidence and connection. Life purpose and self-love are discussed in simple, actionable ways rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are available in English and take place online by video calls, phone, live chat or messaging. Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online access

Lisa works with established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour, and then tests alternative responses in real life to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach involves gradual, supported exposure to feared situations to build confidence and reduce social anxiety and phobic responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about symptoms, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made or circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit short check-ins or times when a written format feels more helpful. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.
