Lisa Chadwick

Lisa Chadwick is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers a calm, non-judgemental presence for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or depression.

She uses approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused strategies to help people tackle practical problems. Sessions focus on what matters now and on small, manageable steps toward change. Lisa listens to each person's story and helps them find ways to cope with life changes, grief, addiction and relationship strain.

Her practice also addresses issues around body image, attachment and abandonment, communication problems, and difficulties linked to trauma and abuse. She helps people who are dealing with parenting challenges, blended family issues, separation and divorce, or the emotional impact of illness such as cancer.

Clients may work on managing guilt and shame, reducing feelings of emptiness, or improving self-esteem and career-related stress. Lisa draws on cognitive tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused methods to set clear, achievable goals.

People who choose to work with her can expect a supportive, straightforward approach. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How Lisa's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. The counsellor offers empathic support and helps clients to explore their feelings at their own pace, which can help with anxiety, grief and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills, which is often helpful for stress, depression and some anxiety problems.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, achievable changes and building on what already works. It is goal-oriented and can be useful when someone needs short-term help to manage a specific problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss different methods with the client and agree on what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. This collaboration helps shape session content and the pace of change.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to use video, but check which options are offered when you arrange your first appointment.
