About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years of experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, anger and related concerns. She also supports those facing relationship strain, addiction issues, and problems with sleep or eating.
Her sessions focus on clear, practical conversations. She listens without judging and helps people name what is happening. Together they look at unhelpful patterns and try small changes that fit everyday life. Lisa uses straightforward tools rather than jargon.
Lisa draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow each person's pace and concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Hypnotherapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of her toolkit when they match a client's goals.
She places attention on immediate coping strategies for strong emotions like anger. That can include short grounding techniques, thought records, and planning calmer responses for tense moments. She encourages practice between sessions so new habits have a chance to stick.
People come to her with issues tied to adoption and foster care, attachment hurts, codependency, dissociation, and substance use. She also supports those managing obsessions, phobias, self-harm thoughts, social anxiety, and women's issues. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
To start, clients complete a brief questionnaire and arrange a first session. Costs vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Lisa uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the person. That approach means the counsellor listens closely and reflects what is said so the client can find their own direction. It is helpful when someone needs a place to talk through strong feelings like anger or grief.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT provides hands-on tools such as activity planning and thought records to reduce reactive patterns and manage stress and anxiety.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Lisa works with the client to test methods and adjust them based on how they respond. The focus is on practical steps and checking in about what helps and what does not.
