About Lisa

Lisa Williams is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression and coping with life changes. She also lists work around guilt and shame among other focuses.

Lisa frames her work around clear conversation. She listens to what matters most and helps people name the problem. Sessions focus on understanding feelings and practical ways to manage day-to-day life. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to guide the way she talks and reflects.

Her background includes supporting parents and children affected by neurodivergent conditions. She has also worked with people dealing with attachment and abandonment, relationship breakdown and communication problems. Chronic illness, caregiver strain and money-related stress are part of her experience too.

In practice she keeps sessions straightforward. People can expect to talk through recent events, old patterns and specific moments that trigger guilt or shame. The emphasis is on awareness and small changes that fit into ordinary life.

Lisa asks clients to set clear goals and to review progress together. She adapts how she works to reflect each person’s pace and priorities. For someone carrying shame about relationships, faith or past choices, she offers steady, conversational support focused on real-world coping and clearer decision-making.

Client-Centred approaches and online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on attentive listening and reflecting what the person says. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them bring clarity to confusing feelings. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, attachment concerns and for working through guilt or shame.

In practice the therapist treats choosing an approach as collaborative. She will discuss how Client-Centred ways of working might help and adjust sessions based on a person’s goals and preferences. That discussion happens together over the first few meetings so the plan fits the person’s needs.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare or other commitments, and they can allow shorter check-ins when a quick review is useful. Registered or accredited professionals often find remote sessions help keep momentum between face-to-face meetings and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments without extra travel.
