Lisa Oxley, NCPS

Lisa Oxley is a UK-registered therapist with 10 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, and other life challenges. She works with individuals and families to address a wide range of concerns including parenting, eating and food-related issues, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also offers support for issues such as abandonment, codependency, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress.

She holds the NCPS credential, which reflects professional accreditation in the United Kingdom and a commitment to recognised standards of practice. Lisa approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that personal strengths are central to healing and growth. This perspective guides her work, helping clients build practical skills while exploring underlying patterns that contribute to distress.

Beginning therapy can feel like a significant step, and Lisa aims to make that step feel manageable and worthwhile. She focuses on collaborative, evidence-informed techniques tailored to each person’s needs, helping clients set achievable goals and build resilience as they work through difficult emotions and life transitions.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine gentle exploration with practical skill building. One approach focuses on talk-based therapy that helps people process difficult emotions, understand patterns linked to anxiety or depression, and work through trauma and loss. This approach supports deeper insight and emotional processing in a paced, supportive way.

Another approach emphasises skills-based strategies - practical tools for managing stress, reducing cravings in addiction recovery, improving emotion regulation, and handling anger. These techniques teach coping skills that clients can use day to day to reduce distress and strengthen resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions over time so the work remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without geographic constraints and can help maintain momentum between sessions.
