About Lisa

Lisa Oxley is an NCPS-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related struggles. She encourages people to recognise their own strengths when facing difficult situations.

She treats anger as one of several issues that crop up alongside stress, addictive behaviours and relationship tensions. Sessions focus on practical ways to notice triggers, manage heated moments and reduce resentment over time. Conversations aim to identify what has led to repeated patterns and what helps someone feel less reactive in day-to-day life.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens to the facts of a person’s situation and helps them try small, usable changes between sessions. This can include breathing or grounding tactics, clearer communication strategies, and ways to interrupt compulsive urges linked to addiction or anger.

Lisa also works with people handling grief, low self-esteem, parenting strain and life changes that can increase stress. She places emphasis on the client’s own knowledge of their story and builds on strengths already present.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English to people in the United Kingdom.

Practical approaches for managing anger and stress online

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a direct, practical way. One common approach focuses on recognising physical and emotional triggers and learning short grounding or breathing exercises to reduce reactivity. This helps when temper flares at work or at home and when someone needs quick, repeatable steps to calm down.

A second approach involves examining patterns in relationships and communication. Sessions look at how resentments build, how boundaries are set, and how different responses maintain conflict. This can help people practise clearer requests and lower the frequency of heated exchanges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and decide together what techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. It is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer audio-only check-ins when bandwidth or a quieter environment is easier, while others choose longer video sessions for in-depth work. Registered or accredited professionals can help tailor the pattern and length of sessions to everyday life.
