About Lisa

Counsellor (NCPS), 10 years' experience. Lisa Oxley helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, eating and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing family problems, codependency, caregiver stress and other related difficulties.

Lisa frames people as experts in their own lives. She looks for the strengths someone already has and uses those to tackle current problems. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical steps as well as talking through difficult feelings.

Her approach draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep problems repeating. She works collaboratively to identify what is getting in the way and to try new ways of responding. This can include managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful habits, and improving communication.

People contact her about a wide range of concerns from addiction and domestic violence to separation and blended family issues. She also helps with issues such as guilt, shame, emptiness and low self-esteem. The work can include short-term problem solving or longer work to change deeper patterns.

Sessions are conducted in English and she practises in the United Kingdom. She uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and change patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing behaviours that keep problems going. This method helps with addictions, eating-related issues and unhelpful coping habits by breaking tasks into small, practical steps.

Another approach concentrates on recognising and regulating strong emotions. It teaches simple skills for noticing feelings, reducing reactivity, and practising calmer responses. This can be useful for anger, relationship conflict and coping with trauma-related reactions.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals and preferences with the client and agree a plan together. This remains flexible and can shift as the person’s situation changes.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and daily routines, and they can allow for shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits someone better.
