About Lisa
Lisa Crosby is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 14 years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self esteem, depression, and the strain of life changes. Her practice also addresses relationship concerns, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges.
Lisa writes in straightforward terms and treats clients as the experts on their own lives. She focuses on building on existing strengths and practical ways to change patterns that keep people stuck. She recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting and notes the courage involved in reaching out.
In sessions she talks through what has been happening and what the client wants to be different. Conversations aim to identify small changes that make daily life easier and to reduce the hold of shame or guilt when that is part of the problem. She also covers issues such as body image, isolation and young adult concerns.
Her background includes working with people affected by sexual assault and abuse, first responder issues, self-harm, and struggles with self-love. Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She helps clients weigh options and try new ways of responding to difficult feelings.
Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking and to use the site matching process to schedule a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Lisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people change unhelpful patterns and manage strong emotions. One common approach focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep distress going, then testing small behaviour changes to see what helps. This is useful for anxiety, low self esteem and day-to-day coping. Another approach concentrates on processing painful experiences and their impact on feelings such as shame or guilt, by talking through memories and current reactions to reduce their hold.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adapt what happens in sessions as needed. Clients are involved in planning next steps and practical tasks between meetings so progress is based on both conversation and action.
If you plan to work online, please confirm the session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce travel time and offer quicker check-ins when time is short. They can also let people choose a quieter setting, use audio-only if preferred, or keep sessions to shorter focused check-ins when that suits a busy routine.
