Lisa Fairclough, BACP

Lisa Fairclough is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She aims to make it easier for people to start talking about difficult feelings. Lisa creates a calm, non-judgemental space so thoughts and emotions can be shared without pressure.

Her approach is practical and client-focused. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people notice difficult thoughts and find new ways to live by their values. Client-Centred Therapy shapes how she listens, keeping the person’s pace and priorities central to each session.

Lisa also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people weigh up change and build motivation. For those affected by past harm, Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to work through painful memories with care. She commonly helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

Sessions tend to concentrate on small, manageable steps. Lisa supports people who are dealing with family problems, parenting strain, work pressure, feelings of emptiness or issues around control and attachment. She also offers help for anger, self-esteem, and life transitions.

Her style is straightforward and reassuring. Lisa encourages collaboration so goals are agreed together. If someone wants to begin, they are invited to take a first step and explore whether the fit feels right.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and major life changes. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the counsellor follows the person’s lead and supports their own problem-solving. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt methods that suit their needs and goals. Together they review what helps and adjust the approach over time so sessions feel practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It also lets people join sessions from a quieter place or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage.
