Lisa Hughes, BACP

Lisa Hughes is a BACP-accredited integrative counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She combines her role as a wellbeing officer with hands-on counselling to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also addresses related concerns such as abandonment, body image, chronic pain and illness, isolation and loneliness, narcissistic dynamics, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues.

Working from an integrative framework, Lisa adapts evidence-based techniques to suit each person’s needs and preferences. She seeks to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely, and she emphasizes collaboration so clients can set goals and develop practical coping strategies. Lisa describes her role as supportive and empowering, helping people take the first courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

She maintains regular message checks and aims to respond in a timely manner. Lisa does not work on weekends in order to preserve family time, so messages received over the weekend are typically responded to on the following Monday. Sessions are available through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to therapy.

Integrative approaches and flexible online therapy

As an integrative counsellor, Lisa draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client. She works with approaches that help identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. She also uses emotion-focused methods that support processing difficult feelings and building self-esteem, especially useful for relationship issues and trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Lisa treats this as a collaborative effort. She will work with each client to explore which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more accessible and adaptable to busy lives. These formats allow clients to connect from home or work, fit sessions into varied schedules, and continue therapeutic work even when in-person meetings are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can apply these tools to support consistent, goal-oriented progress over time.
