About Lisa

Counsellor (NCPS), 7 years' experience. Lisa McAndrew helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, as well as grief and coping with life changes. She also supports people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger and bipolar concerns.

Lisa uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She works with Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and also offers hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques. Sessions are practical and aim to build skills for managing difficult moments.

Her way of working is direct and collaborative. She listens first, asks clear questions, and helps people spot patterns that keep problems going. Then she suggests small, workable steps to test between sessions.

Lisa’s background is recorded as NCPS. She has seven years of experience in practice across a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, attachment issues, and addictions. That experience informs her mix of talking therapies and brief interventions.

People usually find sessions focus on current problems and coping strategies. Some work covers past experiences when that helps with present coping. Lisa encourages practical changes to everyday routines alongside talking about feelings.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The approach aims to be clear, practical and focused on what the person wants to change.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens without directing goals, and supports the client to make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful for people wanting to talk through feelings and find their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. CBT often suits people working on anxiety, low mood, obsessions and phobias.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in sessions, and adjust methods according to the client’s needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical change and clearer goals.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm which options are currently offered before booking. Many people use remote sessions to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel, or to have shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it easier to follow through on homework tasks and to practise skills between meetings with a registered professional.
