About Lisa
Lisa Johnson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem issues and coping with life changes. Lisa also focuses on guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men's issues, mood disorders, narcissism and women's issues.
Her background includes volunteer roles with Cruse and Family Lives. She has run a free community counselling service for a charity and facilitated a men's mental health peer support group. These roles have given her practical experience listening to people at difficult points in their lives.
In sessions she uses straightforward conversation to identify immediate concerns. She helps clients notice patterns that keep them stuck and practises concrete ways to change them. Work often starts with manageable steps people can use between meetings.
Lisa prefers a collaborative way of working. She and the client set goals and review progress together. This includes checking what methods are helping and adjusting the plan where needed.
Her approach is practical and people-focused. She aims to help clients make clearer decisions, cope with loss or change, and find better ways to manage anxiety and low mood. Those interested in exploring life purpose will find this topic included among her areas of focus.
Therapeutic methods and online sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based techniques to support people with anxiety, grief and life changes. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them in everyday life to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioural strategies involve simple experiments and routine changes to build confidence and a sense of control.She also draws on trauma-informed ways of working that prioritise pacing and stabilisation. These methods help people manage strong emotions and rebuild a sense of safety in day-to-day life. The therapist and client discuss which approaches fit the person's goals and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help fit work and family life because they remove travel and can be scheduled around other commitments. If someone needs a shorter check-in or prefers not to use video, those practical arrangements can be discussed when booking to find the best match.
