Lisa Anderson , BACP

Lisa Anderson is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her practice is informed by more than 25 years of personal study in spirituality, mindfulness, meditation, and somatic experiencing, and she blends that background with clinical skills to support people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns.

She works from a polyvagal perspective that focuses on helping clients notice how the body responds to stress and safety, and she often guides attention to physical sensations alongside thoughts and emotions. Her style is firmly person-centered - warm, non-judgmental, honest, and respectful - creating conditions in which an individual’s natural capacity to heal and integrate can emerge.

Lisa emphasizes the healing power of at least one kind and safe relationship and sees the counselling relationship as a therapeutic space where that experience can be accessed. She listens empathically and follows each person’s unique needs, offering mindful, body-aware guidance as clients explore change. Taking the first step toward greater wellbeing can be courageous, and Lisa supports that process through collaborative, attentive work tailored to each person’s goals.

Integrating ACT and attachment work for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses. It can help with issues such as intimacy problems, abandonment concerns, codependency, and family patterns by exploring relational needs and creating new ways of relating.

Lisa Anderson approaches online work collaboratively, helping clients find the therapeutic methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client explore what feels most helpful, adapting ACT, attachment-informed ideas, or person-centered, mindful practices as the process unfolds.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, follow a plan of care, and access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, while preserving the relational focus that supports lasting change.
