Lisa Guy, BACP

Lisa Guy offers a warm, supportive and non-judgemental therapeutic space where people can explore thoughts, feelings and emotions to gain clearer understanding of their life experience and move toward greater fulfilment. Drawing on an integrative approach, she adapts established counselling models to each person’s needs so that work progresses at a pace that feels right for them.

Her practice focuses on relationship concerns, self-esteem, career challenges, depression and coping with life changes, with additional attention to communication and family difficulties, forgiveness, loneliness and workplace issues. Lisa combines person-centred listening with humanistic insight and psychodynamic exploration to help clients make sense of patterns, rebuild self-worth and identify practical steps forward.

Before training as a counsellor, Lisa spent 19 years working in IT and earlier roles in retail and market research. That background contributes to an informed understanding of how work pressures and workplace dynamics can ripple into personal life. Experience providing mentoring within IT and volunteering with community organisations has shaped her interest in supporting people from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Lisa is an integrative counsellor who holds a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), working toward professional accreditation.

Integrative Approaches and the Benefits of Online Therapy

Person-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic environment in which the client’s experience is central. This approach encourages self-exploration and supports growth in areas such as self-esteem, relationships and coping with life changes by helping people identify their own strengths and resources.

Psychodynamic work explores how past experiences and recurring patterns shape present feelings and behaviours. This form of therapy can be helpful when relationship patterns, family dynamics or long-standing emotional themes are impacting daily life and decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. For many people, remote sessions make consistent engagement easier and allow work to continue around employment, family commitments and other daily demands while still benefiting from support provided by registered professionals and therapists.
