About Lisa

Counsellor (BACP), 3 years of experience. Lisa Johnson helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Lisa meets people who are dealing with heavy emotions and sudden change. She uses straightforward conversation to help clients sort their thoughts and make practical changes. Sessions tend to focus on what is most pressing, whether that is anxiety, past harm, loss, or feeling stuck about life direction.

Her background includes volunteering with Cruse and Family Lives, running a free community counselling service for a charity, and facilitating a men's mental health peer support group. That front-line experience shaped how she works with everyday challenges and grief reactions.

In sessions she adapts the dialogue and the work to each person’s situation. That can mean talking through past events, building day-to-day coping strategies, or practising ways to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She aims to be clear about what will be tried and why.

People choosing to work with her first complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How Lisa uses evidence-based approaches online

Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and on learning practical coping skills. Cognitive approaches look at patterns of thinking that keep anxiety and low mood going, and help people try different ways of thinking and behaving. That can be useful for stress, anxiety and self-esteem issues.

Trauma-informed approaches focus on understanding how past harm affects current reactions and relationships. Work here can include grounding and pacing conversations about difficult memories, building safety in everyday routines, and planning steady steps to manage triggers and distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree which techniques to try. Plans are reviewed and changed as needed so the work stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so please confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. They also allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and mean people do not need to travel to an appointment.
