About Lisa

Lisa Bell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She also helps with trauma and abuse, LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship strains and addiction. With three years of professional experience, she aims to make taking the first step feel manageable and humane.

She works from an integrative perspective and believes clients know their own stories best. That means sessions combine different ways of working to suit the person in front of her, rather than relying on a single method. Conversations focus on practical steps clients can try between sessions and on recognising existing strengths that can help change feel possible.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) first class degree and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Over three years she has supported people with bereavement, rape, domestic abuse and long-term stress reactions, alongside common concerns such as sleeping problems and low self-esteem.

Lisa pays attention to how life transitions affect wellbeing, including career changes, parenting pressures and caring roles. She also works with issues often connected to neurodiversity and attachment, such as autism and abandonment worries. For those facing age-related challenges, she includes aging and geriatric issues among her focus areas.

People who choose her can expect straightforward sessions that prioritise listening, practical planning and steady support. To begin, visitors are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

Approaches that guide online work and finding the right fit

Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques while keeping things practical. One strand focuses on talking through past events and how they affect current feelings; this helps with trauma, grief and relationship difficulties by making patterns clearer and more manageable. Another strand emphasises skills and planning - simple steps to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or manage urges related to addiction, taught and practised in sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful, adjust methods as progress is reviewed, and set goals that reflect personal priorities and daily life constraints.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and make it easier to schedule brief check-ins or longer weekly sessions. Online conversations also allow focus on practical exercises that can be tried between meetings, making therapy easier to work into a busy routine.
