Lisa Hughes

Lisa Hughes works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship difficulties. She is named as a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience and helps clients talk through worries about self-esteem, motivation and the effects of trauma. Lisa aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space so people can take small steps towards a more satisfying life.

Her approach is described as integrative. That means she draws on different evidence-based techniques and adapts them to each person's needs. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage overwhelming feelings, build confidence and improve day-to-day coping.

Lisa also works with concerns such as body image, abandonment, isolation and social anxiety. She supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness or disability, and those affected by narcissistic relationships. Her practice includes attention to women’s issues alongside the core difficulties listed above.

She balances therapy work with a role as a wellbeing officer, which gives her experience in practical workplace and wellbeing matters. Lisa checks messages regularly and aims to reply promptly during the working week. She does not work on weekends to protect family time and will respond to weekend messages on Monday.

If you are unsure whether to start, she asks for a short matching questionnaire to help pair you with the right support and to arrange your first session according to availability.

How evidence-based methods can work online

Lisa uses an integrative approach that draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to the person in front of her. That might include short-term practical strategies to manage anxiety and mood, and talking-based methods that help process difficult experiences. Each approach focuses on clear steps you can try between sessions and ways to measure small changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss different ways of working with you and together you will choose methods that match your goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as needs evolve.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy days, avoid travel and keep appointments during work breaks. They also allow for brief check-ins when a quick update helps maintain progress. Ask about the available formats when you arrange your first appointment so practical arrangements suit your routine.
