About Lisa Powell
Lisa Powell is a United Kingdom based therapist with 14 years of professional experience who supports adults facing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works with issues including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, family and relationship difficulties, eating concerns, parenting and identity matters. She also supports people navigating neurodiversity, attachment and adoption related challenges, chronic illness and caregiving stress.
Her practice blends practical, solution-focused strategies with deeper therapeutic work that helps clients explore patterns, build self-understanding and strengthen connections with others. Lisa draws on approaches such as cognitive and attachment-informed methods alongside client-centered principles to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. This flexibility allows her to offer clear strategies when people need them and reflective, exploratory work when people want to better understand life patterns.
In sessions she aims to create a non-judgmental space grounded in empathy, respect and collaborative trust so people can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. That therapeutic relationship helps clients gain perspective, increase self-regard and take steps toward more effective and satisfying ways of living. Lisa recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and affirms the decision to reach out as an important first step toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Lisa Powell uses a combination of approaches to meet different needs, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and helps people address fears of abandonment, closeness and trust so they can form healthier connections. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-directive stance where the therapist provides empathy and acceptance to support clients as they explore their goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best given their situation, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as progress is made.
Online therapy with Lisa is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different formats and access support from wherever the client is located while working with registered professionals and therapists committed to tailored, effective care.
