Lisa Powell, BACP

Lisa Powell is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 14 years of professional experience. She works with a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her work also addresses complex areas such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, dissociation, and caregiver stress.

Drawing on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and attachment-informed perspectives, she offers structured, solution-focused options when needed while also attending to deeper relational patterns. Her approach aims to help clients develop clearer self-understanding, greater self-trust, and more effective ways of engaging with daily life and relationships. She emphasizes building a strong therapeutic relationship grounded in trust, respect, and empathic listening so that thoughts and feelings can be explored without judgment.

Lisa supports people through practical coping strategies as well as reflective work that addresses underlying dynamics. She welcomes clients who are beginning therapy for the first time as well as those seeking focused, strategic support, and she is available to work with international clients. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body with which she is registered.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Powell integrates several well-established approaches to support people in online sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can be helpful for those struggling with attachment issues, abandonment, or relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental environment where clients lead the pace of work and build self-understanding, which is useful for issues like self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches to create a personalised plan that feels meaningful and effective.

Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make regular sessions easier to fit into busy lives, allow connection across different locations, and provide multiple ways to communicate so clients can choose what feels most comfortable for them.
