About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She works with clients who are coping with life changes, relationship concerns, addictions and issues around intimacy. Lisa lists LGBT among her focus areas and offers a non-judgemental space for people to begin difficult conversations.
She uses clear, down-to-earth language in sessions and encourages people to describe what matters to them.
Background and approach
The first meetings focus on listening and making a simple plan together. Lisa aims to help people feel understood and to find small, practical steps that reduce distress day to day. Her approach draws on client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with options such as hypnotherapy and solution-focused techniques when they fit a person’s goals.
That mix allows sessions to focus on current problems and on changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. Lisa has seven years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. She invites people to take things at their own pace and to set goals that make sense for their life.
People who choose to work with Lisa usually start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions. Payment is managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How Lisa blends approaches for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and locate the parts of life they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss options with each person and help decide what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may lead to combining approaches over time.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow a mix of longer therapeutic meetings and brief follow-ups that suit everyday routines.
