About Lisa

Lisa Johnson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of practice in the United Kingdom. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief and parenting challenges. Her tone is warm and respectful, and she aims to make the first step feel manageable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

Her approach is collaborative and personalised. Sessions centre on what matters most to the client, with questions that help identify reachable goals and everyday coping steps. She listens without judgement and adapts conversations to each person's needs, whether that means working on confidence, managing ADHD-related challenges, or coping with life changes.

Lisa also supports people navigating relationship and family concerns, communication problems, guilt, shame and issues around commitment or infidelity. She works with clients dealing with chronic pain, illness, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact of midlife transitions. Pregnancy and childbirth is included among her areas of focus when relevant to a client's experience.

Appointments are offered throughout the day, with weekday evening slots and some weekend mornings available. Sessions operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Her aim is straightforward: to support thoughtful change and practical steps towards a more fulfilling life. She invites people to talk through what’s worrying them and to shape a plan that fits their daily life.

How client-centred work adapts to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist offers a listening, non-judgemental space and follows the client's lead to identify what matters most. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and adjustment to life events like pregnancy and childbirth.

The focus in sessions is on understanding each person's perspectives and building practical ways to cope. Conversations aim to clarify goals, try small experiments between meetings, and review what helps in day-to-day life. The therapist will check in about how the approach is working and adapt methods to fit the client's preferences and circumstances.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will work with clients to weigh options and choose techniques that suit their needs, goals and comfort. This collaborative stance helps shape sessions that feel useful and realistic.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, fitting therapy around work, childcare or medical appointments and reducing travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins on busier days or longer sessions when deeper discussion is needed, helping therapy fit into everyday life rather than adding extra burden.
