About Caralisa
Caralisa Alvis of Lee is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family matters, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, addictions, grief and anger. Her practice also covers self-esteem issues, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes and compassion fatigue.
She commonly helps people who are struggling with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency and control issues. She also has experience with dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, and the emotional aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters. Impulsivity, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness are also within her remit.
Caralisa uses a mix of therapy methods to suit different problems. These include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic ideas and somatic work. She draws on these approaches to talk through patterns and notice how the body and feelings link to thoughts.
Sessions focus on building understanding of what leads to angry reactions and finding practical ways to respond differently. Conversations can include looking at past relationships that shape current patterns, spotting unhelpful thinking, and practicing calmer ways to cope with stress and triggers.
She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the online booking route.
How her approaches translate to online work
Caralisa commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions, especially in close relationships. This approach helps when anger links to fear of abandonment or hurt in relationships. Client-Centred work is about allowing people to lead the conversation and be listened to without pressure, which helps when someone needs to talk through intense feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change reactions and behaviour.Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a joint process. The therapist and client discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit the person's situation. That collaborative planning helps people test what helps them manage anger and frustration in everyday life.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people use talk-based and body-aware techniques from their own setting, while the therapist adapts exercises so they work remotely.
