About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She creates a calm space for people to talk about difficult thoughts and emotions without feeling judged. Lisa encourages small steps and recognises that asking for support takes courage.
Over seven years she has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationships, addiction, trauma and issues around eating and sleeping. She also has experience supporting people with attachment questions, adoption and foster care matters, and challenges such as OCD, phobias and self-harm.
Background and approach
Her background includes practice in the United Kingdom and registration with NCPS, which is listed as her credential. Her approach is straightforward and person-centred. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual, and practical strategies are used when they are helpful.
Cognitive behavioural tools are offered to challenge unhelpful thoughts and build healthier routines. Hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques are available as additional options for people who prefer brief, goal-oriented work. Lisa adapts methods to fit a person’s preferences and pace rather than following a fixed recipe.
She emphasises collaboration and clear steps so progress feels tangible. People can expect an open, non-judgemental tone and a mix of talking and practical exercises. The aim is to help people cope better with day-to-day life and to build skills that last beyond the therapy room.

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
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is offered to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is practical and structured, often involving simple exercises and new routines to reduce symptoms like low mood, anxiety or sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adapt methods to match preferences and needs. This collaborative attitude means plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy brings practical benefits. Video calls let you see facial cues and work in real time. Phone sessions can be easier if you have limited bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or when writing helps you process thoughts. These options allow greater flexibility around work, travel and daily life while still keeping therapy consistent and focused.
