Lisa Crosby, BACP

Lisa Crosby is a United Kingdom based therapist with 14 years of professional experience who works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She centres her practice on the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and brings a strengths-focused perspective to help clients regain motivation, confidence, and a sense of direction.

Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment in which Lisa recognises the courage it takes to seek help and values the resilience already present in each person. She combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with practical, tailored strategies to address issues such as body image, isolation, self-harm, and challenges common to young adults and first responders. Lisa also works sensitively with LGBT concerns, sexual assault and abuse, and the complex emotions of guilt and shame.

Lisa holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she draws on years of experience to support people through change, build self-love and coping skills, and help restore everyday functioning and wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach involves cognitive and behavioral strategies - helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop alternative ways of thinking, and practice new coping skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach works well for stress, low confidence, and depression.

Another key focus is trauma-informed care, which prioritises safety, pacing, and restoring a sense of control. This involves helping clients process difficult experiences gently, build resilience, and develop self-compassion, and is suited to those working through abuse, assault, or other traumatic events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa collaborates with each person to explore what feels most helpful, tailoring techniques to match individual needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online therapy with Lisa is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life changes, reduce travel time, and allow clients to engage from locations that suit them while working together with a registered professional.
