About Lisa
Lisa McCormack is a counsellor who works with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, grief, or big life changes. She offers down-to-earth support for anyone struggling with stress, self-esteem, or the fallout of difficult relationships. Lisa holds BACP registration and practises from the United Kingdom.
She communicates in English and works with international clients when needed. Her practical style blends client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural tools and mindfulness techniques.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on making everyday problems easier to manage. Lisa helps people name unhelpful thinking patterns, practise small changes, and build clearer boundaries in relationships. She has three years of direct experience supporting people through trauma, panic, mood shifts, and loss.
Her work includes helping people recover from emotionally abusive relationships and rebuild self-worth. She also supports those facing burnout, caregiving strain, chronic illness concerns, and persistent feelings of isolation. Therapy sessions may use a stepped, collaborative plan tailored to what the person wants to achieve.
Lisa aims to combine empathy with practical strategies so progress feels tangible. Conversations are paced to the person’s readiness, with space for reflection and actionable steps. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs and schedules.
Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a session slot that fits the client’s timetable.

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 (CBT) uses short practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. It is useful for managing anxiety, panic, mood swings and stress by teaching small skills that can be practised between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That might mean spending more time on mindfulness skills one week and on thought-challenging exercises the next.
Online sessions make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions are low-bandwidth and can be simpler to join, live chat offers a quicker check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for different days and needs while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps the person wants to take.
