About Lisa

Lisa Crosby helps people address stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and other life changes through conversational, evidence-informed counselling. She works with issues such as relationship difficulties, parenting strain, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and problems with body image and self-harm. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has 14 years of experience in practice.

Lisa uses a practical style that encourages clients to notice what already helps them and build on those strengths. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small changes that make daily life easier. She listens to the client’s story, offers reflections and suggests ways to practise new responses between sessions.

Her background includes work with people affected by sexual assault and abuse, first responder issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation. She also supports those wrestling with self-love and young adult transitions. This range informs how she approaches assessment and goal-setting.

Lisa describes the client as the expert in their own life and helps them draw on internal resources while developing practical coping strategies. She aims for clear, manageable steps rather than lengthy theory. This approach suits people who want straightforward discussion and tools to use outside sessions.

Clients are invited to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The counsellor uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be cancelled at any time.

How Lisa uses therapeutic methods in remote sessions

Lisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people address recurring patterns and daily difficulties. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence; this helps reduce overthinking and standing worries. Another approach targets behavioural change by setting small, achievable tasks between sessions to build confidence and new routines; this helps with low motivation, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss the client’s aims, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, then agree a plan that feels manageable. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as progress is made.

The exact session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, remote counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that helps. It can also let people use phone-only sessions if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work or study commitments without needing to leave home.
