About Lisa
Lisa Ward offers calm, steady support for people who feel overwhelmed by daily life or by a past event that keeps returning. She writes in plain language and listens without judging. Many clients come with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief or parenting concerns and want a place to make sense of what they are feeling.
Her approach aims to create a space where people can speak openly. Sessions focus on being heard, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that feel manageable.
Background and approach
Lisa draws on client-centred methods that place the person’s experience at the heart of the work. Lisa has five years of professional experience. She has worked in domestic abuse services and uses trauma-focused methods for those affected by abuse or other traumatic events.
She also helps people with issues such as addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, low self-esteem and coping with life changes. She holds a BACP credential, which is recorded in her professional details. Training includes several counselling diplomas and trauma-related courses, plus ongoing development in areas like grief and anxiety.
This background informs how she structures sessions and conversations. Sessions can be used to talk through parenting stress, boundaries, communication and the days when everything feels too much. Lisa encourages small steps and practical techniques alongside reflective conversations to help people move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is shared, and helps people explore what matters to them. This way of working supports issues like stress, low self-esteem, parenting concerns and relationship problems by building understanding and practical next steps.Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and on helping someone process difficult memories and reactions. It uses paced, gentle work that aims to reduce the power of traumatic reminders and improve day-to-day functioning for people affected by abuse or other trauma.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will adapt methods to fit the person. This collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, journalling between sessions or clients who prefer writing their thoughts. These formats help people fit counselling around work, childcare and daily life.
