About Lisa
Lisa Bell is a UK counsellor who focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns and trauma. She also helps people dealing with grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions and parenting strain. She aims to make the first step feel manageable and will support people as they work toward clearer days.
She trained to a BA (Hons) first class degree level and holds BACP accreditation. With three years of professional experience, she draws on what each person brings to the room and treats clients as experts in their own story.
Background and approach
She emphasises simple, practical steps alongside listening and reflection. Sessions tend to be person-centred and tailored to whatever someone needs that week. Lisa will listen for patterns such as attachment or abandonment worries, issues with self-esteem, or work-related stress, and then agree manageable tasks or ways to try things differently between sessions.
She is experienced supporting people affected by trauma, sexual violence and domestic abuse, and works with those coping with chronic illness, caregiving demands and bereavement. She also addresses concerns such as ADHD, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue. Lisa works from the United Kingdom and speaks English.
International clients are accepted. To find out current session formats and scheduling, readers should confirm options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online work
Lisa draws on well established evidence-based techniques that focus on what people want to change. Person-centred ways of working place the client’s experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor reflecting back what matters and helping set small, achievable goals. This approach helps with low mood, self-esteem and relationship concerns.When trauma or abuse is a focus, Lisa uses trauma-informed methods that prioritise pacing and safety while helping people build skills to manage intrusive memories, flashbacks or strong emotional reactions. These techniques often include grounding and breath-based strategies to reduce overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences and practical needs, then suggest ways of working to test for fit over a few sessions. This remains a collaborative conversation throughout therapy.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work or caregiving, avoiding travel time and keeping appointments when life is busy. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to check what is offered for online work.
