About Lisa
Lisa Ward welcomes people who have reached a point where life feels overwhelming and things need to change. She writes in plain terms and offers a calm space to talk about stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, addiction and other concerns. Lisa is a BACP counsellor with five years' experience and works online with people in the United Kingdom and beyond.
In sessions she focuses on listening first. Clients are invited to say what feels hard without pressure or judgement.
Background and approach
Lisa uses a client-centred way of working that helps people feel understood and then explores what small changes might help day to day. She also brings trauma-focused approaches to people who have been through abuse or other painful events.
That means paying attention to safety, pacing the conversation and helping people make sense of difficult memories so they cause less disruption in daily life. Lisa has direct experience of domestic abuse services and additional study in trauma, eating difficulties, anxiety and grief.
Her background means she is used to helping people whose problems affect relationships, work and sleep, or who are coping with illness and caregiving responsibilities. Therapy with Lisa is practical and steady. Sessions can include talking, reflecting on patterns, and making short, manageable experiments to try between meetings.
She aims to help clients feel heard, regain calm and find clearer ways through their current challenges.

Approaches Lisa lists

Online support
Trauma-Focused Therapy pays attention to how past harm affects the present. It emphasises pacing, grounding and helping memories feel less overwhelming so day-to-day routines can return. This approach is used when trauma or abuse contributes to current problems.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, lifestyle and what feels most helpful. Together you can try different ways of working and adjust the plan as you go, so therapy fits your needs and preferences.
Online therapy with Lisa uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video lets you talk face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter reflections or when typing feels easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
