About Lisa
Lisa Howarth is a counsellor with seven years' experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, grief and relationship worries. She offers straightforward, calm sessions for those feeling stuck by low mood, shame, or loss of connection with themselves or others. Sessions aim to make emotional pressure easier to carry and to find practical next steps.
Lisa works in a person-centred way, so sessions follow what the client brings and move at a comfortable pace.
Background and approach
She combines that with practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to address negative thinking and build coping skills. Somatic and trauma-focused ideas are used where past distress is affecting the body or daily life. Clients are invited to look at boundaries, attachment patterns and unmet needs.
Conversations might cover intimacy, identity and sexual wellbeing when relevant. Lisa also supports people navigating neurodivergence, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and compassion fatigue. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
Sessions are offered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Practical matters such as cost, scheduling and how to start are handled through the service portal. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then choose a session time that fits their availability.

Online support
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, personal preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as they go along.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is good for a fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, quick reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options help people keep continuity of care across locations and busy schedules.
