Lisa Chadwick, BACP

Lisa Chadwick is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who draws on a client-centred approach to make therapy practical and understandable. She uses plain language and a calm manner to help people talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, depression and life changes. Lisa holds BACP accreditation, which she uses to guide ethical practice and professional standards.

She combines client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques. That means sessions often start with the person’s immediate concerns and build small, achievable steps. CBT is used to look at unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping. Solution-focused work concentrates on what the client wants to change and the strengths they already have.

Lisa has around 10 years of experience supporting people through grief, parenting strain, addiction concerns and career stress. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, body image, communication problems and issues that can follow domestic violence or separation. Her style is straightforward and warm, aiming to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

In sessions she focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find realistic options. She will work alongside each person to set goals and try practical strategies between sessions. The emphasis is on gradual progress and building tools that fit everyday life.

To begin, a person completes the service’s short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the platform’s process and the counsellor’s availability.

How Lisa’s approaches work in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own answers. This approach is useful when someone needs a calm space to talk through feelings and be heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to change them. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, depression and stress because it gives clear, practical steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then shape sessions accordingly. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.

Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent travelling to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises to work over distance and help clients practise new skills in daily life.
