About Lisa

Lisa Harvey is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Lisa also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, self-love, life purpose and social anxiety.

She focuses on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions look at what is happening now, what patterns repeat, and what small changes could make life easier. Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts discussion to each person’s situation.

People often come with shame about the past, guilt over choices, or tension inside the family. Lisa helps them talk through those feelings and consider different ways of responding. She pays attention to how relationships and everyday routines affect mood and stress.

In sessions she will listen and reflect back what she hears, then work with the person to try new responses. That might include trying short exercises between meetings, practising communication, or looking at painful memories at a manageable pace.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She asks about goals and the small changes a person wants to reach. If you are thinking about starting, she will explain the next steps and how to arrange the first meeting.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to make sense of current problems and how they relate to past experiences. One common method focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that increase anxiety and guilt, then practising alternative responses. This helps with ongoing stress, social anxiety and daily low mood.

Another approach works through difficult memories and events in a paced way so they become less overwhelming. This can support people who have experienced trauma or abuse to notice how those memories affect current relationships and parenting choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with the client about their goals and preferences, and they will decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process can be adjusted as the work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please check the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered or accredited professionals can use these practical benefits to help sessions fit around everyday life.
