Lisa Crosby, BACP

Lisa Crosby is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. She sees people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and major life changes. Lisa describes clients as the experts in their own stories and works alongside them to build on existing strengths.

She offers straightforward, practical support for common difficulties such as depression, relationship stress and the after-effects of trauma and abuse. Lisa also focuses on issues like body image, guilt and shame, isolation and self-harm. She pays attention to challenges faced by those in LGBT communities and to young adult concerns.

Her approach aims to help people notice what is already working, and then practise new ways of coping. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps and small changes that fit into daily life. Lisa encourages reflection and action rather than long theoretical explanations.

People who come to her often want to boost motivation, gain confidence, or manage overwhelming feelings. She recognises the courage it takes to start therapy and offers steady, respectful support. The emphasis is on practical progress at a pace the person chooses.

To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Appointments are scheduled according to the therapist's availability, and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Lisa describes her work as evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with panic, worry and repetitive negative thinking.

Another approach centres on building skills for handling strong feelings and improving self-care. That kind of work helps when people feel overwhelmed, isolated or struggle with self-harm urges. Each approach aims to teach steps you can use between sessions to make daily life easier.

Finding the right method is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose approaches that fit the issue and the person's pace. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time.

Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it simpler to schedule sessions around work or study. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to keep continuity of care and maintain progress when in-person visits are difficult.
