Approaches that guide online work and collaboration
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical problem solving and building on existing strengths. One common approach centres on identifying unhelpful patterns and creating small, achievable behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood. This helps people with stress, worry and low motivation by giving clear steps to try between sessions.Another complementary approach emphasises exploring thoughts and self-image to reduce shame and improve self-esteem. This involves talking through difficult memories and beliefs, then testing kinder, more realistic ways of viewing oneself. It can support recovery from trauma, problems with body image, and issues around self-love.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options and adjust methods to match the client's goals, preferences and pace. Together they choose techniques that feel workable and relevant to the person's life.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed, and removes the need to be away from home for appointments. Confirm the exact session formats available with the therapist before booking to ensure they suit your needs.
