Lisa Rowley, BACP

Lisa Rowley is a counsellor with six years of professional experience working with both young people and adults in private practice and school settings. She has supported young people who have experienced domestic abuse and has substantial experience helping clients navigate stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression.

Her practice focuses on creating a non-judgemental and empathetic space where clients can share thoughts and emotions without fear of criticism. Through careful listening and thoughtful conversation she works collaboratively to explore underlying causes and to develop practical plans for change, tailored to each person’s circumstances.

Lisa emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in her work and aims to help people feel heard as they explore difficult feelings. She supports clients through transitions and challenges so they do not have to face them alone.

Lisa holds the BACP credential, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She offers support designed to help clients take the first courageous steps toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy

Lisa draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, empathetic environment where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions - this approach helps people build self-awareness, confidence, and emotional resilience when facing challenges such as grief, relationship difficulties, or life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions tend to be structured and goal-oriented, making them well suited to short-term work and measurable progress.

When trauma is a focus, EMDR can be offered as a way to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR supports people who have experienced abuse, violence, or other traumatic events by facilitating changes in how memories are stored and experienced.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Lisa is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular sessions from home or another convenient location and to continue therapy through life’s changes while working with licensed professionals and therapists who understand each client’s situation.
