Lisa Kelley, BACP

Lisa Kelley is a counsellor with 20 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or the fallout from trauma and abuse. Lisa aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate in each session.

She tailors conversations and the plan of work to each person's situation. That means practical steps and small goals when someone needs them, and space to talk when someone needs to be heard. Lisa helps people manage grief, build self-esteem and cope with life changes such as career shifts or shifts in relationships.

Her practice also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep or eating concerns, and long-term health challenges like chronic pain or illness. She can help those navigating intimacy-related questions, identity and LGBT concerns, or stress linked to parenting and caregiving roles. Lisa has experience with neurodiversity topics including autism and attention differences.

People often bring a mix of feelings to sessions, and Lisa works to untangle those in simple terms. She focuses on what clients want to change and how to take steady, realistic steps. The aim is to leave each meeting with one or two things to try between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. Lisa uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person at the heart of the work and adapts to what each individual needs at different points in their life.

Client-centred care online and practical support

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work. The counsellor follows the client's lead, listens carefully and aims to understand what matters most to them. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, self-esteem and the effects of trauma by creating space to talk and by shaping the work around each person's goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will work collaboratively with clients to identify which ways of working feel most helpful, and adapt sessions over time based on needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can include simple behavioural steps, space to process emotions, or a mix of both.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel and are useful for fuller conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, pacing out support over days rather than single meetings. These options make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life and to keep continuity even when circumstances change.
