About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew NCPS is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with seven years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, and difficulties around relationships and family. Lisa also addresses issues such as addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and self-esteem concerns.
She favours plain, direct conversation. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps to manage symptoms. Lisa uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice patterns of thought and behaviour that cause distress.
Her work also draws on solution-focused techniques to set short-term, achievable goals. Hypnotherapy is included as an approach she uses when people want to work with deeper patterns such as habits, sleep or anxiety responses. Lisa explains options and helps people decide on the methods that might suit them.
People who come for help can expect straightforward feedback and gentle challenge when it will be useful. She pays attention to attachment and adoption-related concerns when these are part of a person’s story. Practical coping strategies are a regular part of sessions.
Lisa accepts international clients and runs sessions in English. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Lisa uses different approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first. The therapist listens without directing, and follows what matters most to the client. This helps when someone needs to be heard about grief, relationship strain or parenting stresses.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and to change behaviours that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are made together and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people choose online sessions because they fit into daily life more easily, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Online work can make it simpler to keep regular appointments around parenting, work and other commitments while still using the therapist’s methods.
