Lisa Powell, BACP

Lisa Powell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and offers support for a wide range of emotional and life challenges. Her work focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma, and other personal struggles.

She aims to build a trusting relationship where clients feel heard and not judged. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with space to talk through feelings and practical steps to cope with everyday pressures. Lisa uses person-focused conversations to help people make sense of difficult experiences and to regain a sense of agency.

Her practice draws on approaches such as attachment-based ways of understanding relationships and cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. She also uses client-centred listening and has an interest in Jungian and existential ideas for meaning and identity. These methods are used flexibly to fit each person’s situation.

Lisa works with concerns including family and relationship difficulties, parenting stresses, identity and LGBT issues, eating and intimacy-related problems, ADHD and bipolar-related coping, and long-term conditions such as chronic pain and illness. She also helps with issues linked to adoption, abandonment and attachment difficulties.

She encourages people to take small steps and values practical outcomes alongside deeper reflection. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences affect how people connect. This helps when trust, abandonment or attachment issues make relationships and parenting difficult.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and practical coping, because it includes clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is something she will do together with each person. The therapist talks through goals, preferences and what has helped before, then adapts methods to fit the individual. This is a collaborative process and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online work, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow follow-up conversations when a shorter check-in is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use attachment and CBT approaches, can tailor sessions so they feel relevant and practical for everyday life.
