About Lisa
BACP. 9 years' experience. Lisa Roberts works with stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, depression, addictions, LGBT matters, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy problems, eating and sleeping issues, anger, career questions, bipolar, coping with life changes, coaching needs, compassion fatigue and ADHD. She also lists additional focus areas including abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, body image, chronic pain and illness, communication problems and divorce and separation.
Lisa uses a client-centred approach as a core way of working and also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, existential ideas, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Sessions aim to be conversational and practical. She listens to current concerns, helps identify small changes that can make a difference and uses structured techniques when that fits the person’s goals.
Her background includes nine years of professional practice and a BACP membership as shown above. That experience sits alongside work delivering mental health first aid and self-care courses. She has worked with young people and parents for many years and has provided counselling through organisations and charities.
Lisa is comfortable using creative materials in sessions when that supports the work. She describes her practice as person-centred and will adapt methods to the issues presented. Clients can expect a mixture of talking, reflective exercises and practical steps to try between sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, the site process asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online counselling options button.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The counsellor offers non-directive conversation and helps people explore their own thoughts and decisions, which can suit relationship, self-esteem and life-change concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical tasks and simple exercises to try between sessions, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Mindfulness-based work involves paying attention to the present moment and learning simple grounding practices to manage stress and emotional overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree which methods to use based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific session formats; please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It also supports using written worksheets and guided exercises between sessions to build skills outside appointments.
