About Lisa
Lisa Arlington is a counsellor with eight years of experience who uses person-focused methods to help people move through hard times. She draws on Client-Centred and Solution-Focused approaches to support people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or low. Lisa presents as calm and warm and aims to make first steps feel less daunting.
She listens without judgement and helps people notice their own resources. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small, practical changes that can make life more bearable.
Background and approach
Lisa encourages people to name their priorities and try approaches that fit their daily life. Her work often centres on relationships and family matters, including communication problems, blended family issues and separation. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and depression, and the strain of caregiving.
Other themes she addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, guilt and shame, and feeling empty or impulsive. Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person’s pace, offering empathy and honest reflection rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear goals and try short-term changes that can build momentum.
Together these approaches help people gain clarity and take manageable next steps. Based in the United Kingdom and registered with BACP, Lisa works with individuals and couples. She aims to create a steady, respectful space where people can look at their lives and make choices that feel right for them.

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on clear, short-term goals and practical steps. It encourages people to identify what is already working and to try small, manageable changes that build momentum. This method can suit someone wanting focused help with relationships, coping strategies or day-to-day challenges.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. The counsellor will listen to your concerns and preferences and suggest how Client-Centred or Solution-Focused work could be used together. Decisions about pace, tone and tasks are made collaboratively so therapy fits your needs and goals.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging lets people check in between meetings or choose not to be on camera. These formats make it easier to sustain work over time and to try different ways of connecting with a counsellor.
