About Lisa
Lisa Crosby is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, and she focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She is approachable and direct, aiming to make therapy feel straightforward and useful from the first session.
She believes clients are the experts on their own lives and builds on the strengths people already have. Sessions aim to boost motivation, confidence and coping skills for life changes.
Background and approach
Lisa recognises that starting therapy takes courage and treats that step as important work in itself. Her approach is pragmatic and collaborative. Conversations concentrate on what is happening now, what gets in the way, and small steps that can be tried between sessions.
She uses clear, everyday language rather than clinical terms so parents can follow the work easily. Lisa also offers help with relationship worries, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to sexual assault. She supports people exploring identity and LGBT concerns, as well as those working through body image, guilt and shame, or feelings of loneliness.
Clients may bring struggles with parenting, depression, self-harm or young adult transitions. Lisa listens without judgement and helps people set achievable goals. The focus is on practical tools and steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that suit online and in-person work
Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps people can try between sessions. One approach emphasises building strengths and motivation, helping clients identify what already works and how to use it when feeling stuck. This is useful for low confidence, anxiety and getting through life transitions.A second approach concentrates on coping skills for stress and trauma-related difficulties, teaching specific tools to manage strong emotions and intrusive memories. These techniques aim to reduce distress in day-to-day life and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences and current needs, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in more often or fit brief sessions around busy parenting or work schedules. Together these options make it easier to keep therapy regular and flexible.
