About Lisa
Lisa Kelley is a counsellor with 20 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as her credential. Lisa works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and parenting concerns.
She also offers support around relationship and intimacy-related issues and a wide range of life changes. Her approach begins with listening. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and priorities rather than a fixed formula.
Background and approach
Lisa aims to create a space where someone can talk through painful experiences such as trauma and abuse, or practical struggles like sleep, eating or career setbacks. Clients can expect a calm, respectful tone and straightforward conversations about goals and next steps. She helps people explore feelings linked to ADHD, bipolar mood changes, compassion fatigue and caregiving stress.
Other areas of focus include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, body image and chronic illness concerns. Lisa uses client-centred therapy to help people feel heard and to build on their own strengths. That usually means shaping sessions around what matters most to the individual and offering practical ideas to try between meetings.
She accepts international clients and works in English. Sessions are available in a range of online formats so people can pick what fits their schedule. The sign-up process uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary by location and therapist availability.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. The counsellor follows the person's lead, reflects what they hear and supports people to clarify goals. This approach is useful for stress, self-esteem, relationship concerns and parenting-related worries.That same client-centred style adapts well to different online formats. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which way of meeting fits your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try an approach and adjust it if another format or focus would work better.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when visual cues matter and when you want a more conversational experience. Phone sessions can be easier on bandwidth and work well for focused check-ins. Live chat and messaging suit shorter, more frequent contact or when typing helps to organise thoughts. These options give flexibility to fit sessions around work, childcare and other commitments.
