Lisa Powell , BACP

Lisa Powell is a BACP-credentialed therapist with 14 years of clinical experience, offering support for a wide range of emotional and relational concerns. She works with people managing stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, family and relationship difficulties, and issues related to identity, intimacy, eating, parenting and career changes. Her practice also includes work with ADHD, bipolar challenges and complex coping around chronic illness and caregiver stress.

Holding the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she draws on established therapeutic traditions to tailor care to each person. Lisa emphasises an approach that attends to attachment patterns, personal meaning, and practical skills, combining these perspectives to meet clients where they are.

In sessions she cultivates a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship built on trust and mutual respect, creating space for honest reflection and exploration. That supportive connection is intended to help clients gain clearer understanding, strengthen self-regard, and engage with life more effectively. Lisa recognises that beginning therapy can take courage and approaches each partnership with encouragement and steady professional guidance.

Therapeutic approaches and convenient online support

Lisa Powell integrates several well-established approaches to help people address emotional and relational difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings and behaviour, and can be helpful for work on intimacy, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to support self-exploration and growth; it is useful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress unfolds and priorities change.

Online therapy modalities - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, and mobility considerations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and work with licensed professionals from different locations while tailoring session styles to what feels most comfortable for the client.
