About Lisa
Lisa Kelley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 20 years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and other life challenges. Lisa aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
She focuses on listening and tailoring support to each person’s situation. In sessions Lisa keeps language plain and practical. Conversations centre on what matters most to the client and on small, doable steps.
Background and approach
She adapts pace and focus to the person in front of her, whether the priority is managing emotion, improving sleep, or rebuilding motivation. Her background includes long-term work with trauma, addiction concerns, and relationship and intimacy-related issues. Lisa also supports people dealing with career strain, caregiver stress, chronic illness and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns.
Her practice has developed through two decades of varied therapeutic work across these areas. Client-Centred Therapy guides her style. That means sessions are led by the client’s priorities, with the therapist offering reflective listening and practical feedback.
The aim is to help people understand their patterns, explore options and make changes that fit their life. Practical matters are straightforward: sessions can be arranged online by following the site steps. Lisa accepts international clients and holds sessions in English.
She frames therapy as a partnership and supports people as they take the first steps toward change.

Approaches Lisa lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In practice, the therapist and client decide together which approaches and exercises to try. Finding the right fit is part of the process; the counsellor will check in about what helps and adjust methods based on the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative way of working supports clearer decision-making about next steps.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging offer short check-ins or written reflection without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep continuity when schedules or locations change.
