About Lisa

Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She welcomes clients who are struggling with everyday thoughts and habits that make life harder. Her approach aims to make the first step into therapy easier and less daunting.

She works to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can say what they are thinking and feeling. Conversations focus on practical habits and thought patterns that affect daily life. Sessions often explore small changes that can reduce worry, improve sleep, or ease low mood.

Lisa uses a mix of practical methods to meet different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Client-Centred Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions so the pace feels comfortable. Hypnotherapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of her toolbox when suited to a person’s goals.

She has seven years of experience and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Her background includes supporting people through relationship and family concerns, addiction and eating or sleep difficulties. Lisa also works with issues around attachment, self-esteem and trauma-related difficulties.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. People usually begin by answering a short matching questionnaire, then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. If you are ready to start, the site’s Start Therapy button begins the process.

How key approaches translate to online support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says, so the therapist follows the person’s pace and priorities. This approach helps people who need a calm space to talk through difficult feelings and daily worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and recurring worries because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to review materials shared during work together. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available formats before booking to make sure they fit your routine and needs.
