Lisa Coleman, NCPS

Lisa Coleman is an experienced advanced psychotherapist who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, grief and the impacts of trauma and abuse. She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, parenting and career pressures, ADHD and eating difficulties, as well as more specific areas such as domestic violence, first responder issues, panic disorder, social anxiety, workplace challenges and young adult transitions. Lisa holds the NCPS credential, which reflects her professional training in psychotherapy.

Her practice emphasises exploring the origins of thoughts, feelings and behaviours so that individuals can gain clearer understanding, reach acceptance and begin to replace unhelpful patterns with healthier, more balanced ways of living. She draws on proven therapeutic methods while keeping the person at the centre of the process, tailoring each plan to the individual need rather than applying a single model to every situation.

Person-centred values of trust, congruence, non-judgement and integrity underpin her work, and sessions are paced to suit each person. Lisa frames therapy as a collaborative journey aimed at practical change and increased wellbeing, supporting clients as they take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Those ready to explore change will find a compassionate, flexible practitioner who focuses on the whole person and works to empower lasting progress.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Lisa commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and develop psychological flexibility - it is often useful for stress, anxiety and problems that involve avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to build insight and self-acceptance, which can be helpful for grief, self-esteem and relationship difficulties. CBT identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical strategies to change them, making it a strong option for depression, panic and many anxiety-related concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so therapy remains aligned with the client’s priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - appointments by video call or phone, live chat and text-based messaging allow sessions to fit around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from different locations and choose the format that feels most comfortable for the individual.
