About Lisa Wan
Over the past seven years Lisa has provided counselling with Leicester Woman’s Counselling Centre and with First Step, an organisation that supports male survivors of sexual abuse and rape. She has extensive experience supporting people with anxiety, depression and complex trauma, and she draws on this background when tailoring care to each person’s needs.
Originally qualifying as a Holistic Therapist in 1998, Lisa saw how the talking element of work became as important as physical treatments for many clients. Since qualifying as a person-centred counsellor she describes her practice as integrative, combining person-centred values with other therapeutic tools to create a holistic, client-focused approach. Her work aims to provide an empathic, non-judgemental space where people can explore difficult experiences and develop practical ways to manage them.

Approaches for online care and therapeutic connection
Lisa Wan uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where people can explore their concerns at their own pace. This approach focuses on understanding the person rather than judging them and can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and general emotional distress.She also integrates trauma-focused therapy when working with people affected by past abuse or complex trauma. This approach aims to help individuals process distressing experiences and develop coping skills to reduce the ongoing impact of trauma symptoms.
Mindfulness therapy is another element of her practice, offering practical strategies to build present-moment awareness and reduce stress and anxiety. Simple mindfulness exercises can support emotion regulation and help with sleep problems and chronic pain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Lisa Wan works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often blend techniques to suit individual circumstances.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, so people can access support from home or while travelling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while maintaining regular contact with a therapist.
