Lisa Howarth , BACP

Lisa Howarth is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who offers online therapy for anxiety, self-worth, relationships, trauma, neurodivergence, and life transitions. With seven years of experience, she works alongside people navigating grief, low mood and long-standing patterns such as people pleasing, self-blame or emotional disconnection. Lisa supports exploration of boundaries, attachment and unmet needs while helping clients gently rebuild trust, self-esteem and self-compassion.

Working in a person-centred, trauma-informed and neurodiversity-aware way, she creates space for individuals to explore identity, relationships and sexuality, including issues around desire, pleasure, boundaries and intimacy. She is an LGBTQIA+ ally and offers a steady, sensitive environment for male and female survivors of sexual abuse to talk about experiences that can feel difficult to name.

As a trainee psychosexual and relational psychotherapist, Lisa helps partners improve communication, understand recurring patterns and reconnect both emotionally and sexually. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and reflects a commitment to professional standards. Lisa provides therapy in English and accepts international clients from her base in the United Kingdom.

Person-centered, mindfulness and trauma-focused online support

Lisa offers online therapy that draws on client-centred, mindfulness and trauma-focused approaches to meet different needs. Client-centred therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, allowing people to explore their feelings and values at their own pace while building self-understanding and stronger boundaries. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce rumination and manage stress, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life transitions. Trauma-focused work addresses the impact of past harm by helping individuals process distressing memories and rebuild a sense of safety and agency in relationships and daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lisa works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s goals, preferences and circumstances. She discusses options and adapts pace and techniques to suit neurodivergence, relational concerns or sexual wellbeing work.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance or different communication needs. Many clients find that this range of formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from licensed professionals and therapists without disrupting daily life.
