Lisa Anderson

Lisa Anderson offers help for stress, anxiety, trauma, depression and eating and food-related issues, among other concerns. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what feels hard. Lisa is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings five years of professional practice to her work.

Her style is warm and person-centred. She listens closely and responds without judgement. Sessions often include gentle guidance to notice physical sensations, thoughts and emotions so people can better understand how their body and mind react to stress.

Lisa draws on mindfulness and elements of somatic awareness from many years of personal practice. She mentions a polyvagal-informed way of working that focuses on helping people feel safer in their bodies. This is used alongside client-centred conversations to support practical change.

She also uses approaches that look at relationships and attachment. That can help when issues stem from early bonds, abandonment or difficulty with intimacy. Lisa’s work includes helping people navigate grief, relationship strain, life changes and questions about identity.

In sessions she aims to be honest, kind and straightforward. The emphasis is on a collaborative process where the person’s goals and pace shape the work. People who choose to work with her are invited to notice small shifts and build ways of coping that fit their everyday life.

How certain approaches are used in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and to choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression and living with difficult urges or food-related challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand attachment, abandonment or intimacy issues and aims to build more secure ways of relating to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as needed in ongoing sessions.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Some approaches translate well to remote meetings, while others may use breathing or body-awareness exercises that suit a quiet, uninterrupted slot. Ask about format details when arranging the first appointment to ensure the sessions will fit practical needs and daily routines.
