About Lisa
Lisa Johnson is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues and life changes. She also focuses on guilt and shame alongside isolation and questions about life purpose.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels difficult. Sessions are practical and conversational. Lisa adapts the pace so people can reflect without feeling rushed.
Her background includes volunteering with bereavement and family support organisations. She has run a community counselling service for a charity and facilitated a men's mental health peer group. These roles shaped her approach to listening and practical support.
In sessions she helps people untangle feelings that stay after painful events or hard decisions. She talks through coping strategies for anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She works with people who want clearer thinking about their next steps in life.
Lisa aims to plan therapy around what a person can manage day to day. That might mean short-term work to get through a crisis, or slower work to understand long-standing guilt or shame. She explains options and checks in about progress as the work continues.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help with strong emotions and repeated unhelpful thinking. One common approach is cognitive work that helps identify and reframe patterns of thinking that keep guilt or shame active. This approach supports people who find their thoughts get stuck on mistakes or self-judgement.Another approach focuses on grief and trauma-informed ways of working. This involves gentle pacing, repeated checking in, and practical strategies to manage distressing memories or reactions. It is used for loss, past abuse, and other events that continue to affect daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and decide with the client which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change if needed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and remove the need to travel, helping therapy fit into ordinary days.
