About Lisa
Lisa Walton works on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and neurodiversity using a person-centred approach and practical techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the UK.
She helps people who are coping with life changes such as grief, illness or job loss. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and draw on their own strengths to find workable ways forward. Short, clear conversations aim to identify practical steps for day-to-day life.
Her work includes supporting people with ADHD and with long-term pain or chronic illness. She also addresses isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, self-worth, and personality-related patterns. CBT techniques are used alongside client-centred ways of working to break down problems into manageable parts.
In practice she listens to what each person brings and offers concrete strategies such as thought-challenging, activity planning, and problem-solving. Those strategies are introduced at a pace that suits the individual.
Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused when that is helpful, and exploratory when someone needs space to make sense of their experience. Clients are encouraged to try small changes between sessions and to review what does and does not help.
Lisa works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP and draws on both client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches in her counselling.
How client-centred work and CBT fit with online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what a person says so they can make sense of their experience. It is useful when someone needs time to talk through difficult feelings and to identify their own priorities.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped in the past, and then suggest an approach to try. This is a collaborative discussion and can change as needs change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, medical appointments or caring commitments. They also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and mean someone does not need to travel to an appointment.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
