About Lisa
Lisa Wan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, stress and coping with life changes. She also supports concerns such as addictions, self-esteem, sleeping problems and compassion fatigue.
Lisa draws on a person-centred foundation and integrates several approaches to meet practical needs in sessions. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early patterns affect current relationships. She applies mindful practices to help slow frantic thinking and bring attention back to the present. Solution-Focused elements mean sessions often aim for small, achievable steps between meetings.
Her background includes work with organisations supporting survivors of sexual abuse and community counselling services. She attends ongoing professional development to widen her skills and receives regular clinical supervision as part of her practice. Her counselling is provided in line with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework, and she is registered with the BACP.
Clients can expect conversations that focus on what is happening now and what might help next. Lisa aims to find practical ways to manage intense feelings, reduce reactivity and improve sleep and daily routines. She also works with issues that overlap with physical health, such as chronic pain and long-term illness.
She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Lisa uses Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early relationship patterns affect present reactions and closeness. This approach can help people who lose their temper around partners or who feel triggered by criticism. It focuses on understanding patterns and trying different ways of relating in day-to-day life.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. This helps people notice their own thoughts and feelings about anger without pressure to perform or explain. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach short, practical exercises that reduce rumination and help with sleep and concentration.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then try methods together in sessions. That collaborative process helps shape what comes next and keeps the focus on manageable steps.
Session formats are not specified in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes working with a registered professional in the UK possible for international clients who prefer remote sessions.
