About Lisa

Lisa Howarth is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor offering online therapy for anxiety, self-worth, relationships, trauma, neurodivergence, and life transitions. She brings seven years of professional experience to work with people facing grief, low mood, persistent anxiety or long-standing patterns such as people pleasing, self-blame and emotional disconnection. Clients who arrive feeling distant from themselves or carrying shame and past hurt will find a steady professional who helps them explore boundaries, attachment and unmet needs while gently rebuilding trust, self-esteem and compassion.

Lisa practises from a person-centred perspective and is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-aware. She identifies as an ally to LGBTQIA+ people and supports exploration of identity, relationships and sexuality, including desire, pleasure, boundaries and intimacy. She works with male and female survivors of sexual abuse, offering a sensitive space where difficult experiences can be acknowledged and named.

As a trainee psychosexual and relational psychotherapist, Lisa also supports couples and partners to improve communication, understand recurring patterns and reconnect both emotionally and sexually. She holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and provides online options that suit a range of needs and lifestyles.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa draws on client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach focuses on listening, empathy and supporting self-directed change, and it often helps with issues like low self-worth, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

She also uses trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of past hurt and overwhelm. This approach involves carefully working with memories, responses and patterns that follow traumatic experiences to reduce their impact in daily life and improve emotional regulation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, when appropriate, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies that can reduce anxiety and low mood. These approaches can be adapted to suit neurodivergent clients and diverse relationship needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and access from different locations. Sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable, making it easier to maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of geography.
