About Lisa

Lisa Johnson is a counsellor who helps people with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions about life purpose, mood difficulties, and issues affecting men and women. Lisa works in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

She aims for a warm, respectful approach in sessions. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs and goals. Lisa focuses on practical steps as well as listening, helping people find clearer ways forward when life feels heavy.

Lisa has three years of professional experience in counselling. Her background includes volunteering with bereavement and family support charities, running a community counselling service and facilitating a men's mental health peer support group. These roles informed her approach to grief, loss and peer-based support.

In sessions she will tailor the dialogue and an agreed plan to what matters to the client. She emphasises sensitivity and compassion while supporting people to build confidence and motivation. Lisa frames therapy as a collaborative process where small, steady changes add up.

People often come to her when loneliness or recent life changes feel overwhelming. She offers space to talk through painful experiences and to test out different coping strategies. The aim is to empower each person to make choices that suit their life and values.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. For example, a problem-solving approach looks at specific situations and tests small changes that can reduce stress and improve daily routines. This can help with anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes.

An approach that focuses on processing difficult experiences offers space to talk about trauma, grief and shame while pacing the work to the person's readiness. This can reduce the hold of painful memories and support clearer choices about the future.

Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and it can let people meet a therapist without needing to travel. Different formats can also suit different moments - for instance a shorter phone check-in when time is tight, or a video session when a deeper conversation is needed.
