Lisa Rowley, BACP

Lisa Rowley is a counsellor with six years of experience working with young people and adults. She has run a private practice and supported pupils in schools who have experienced domestic abuse. Lisa offers a calm, non-judgemental space to talk about stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes including midlife concerns.

She listens with sensitivity and respect. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person and finding practical steps forward. Lisa helps people name the root causes of their struggles and tries to turn those insights into manageable actions.

Her work has included helping clients affected by domestic violence and supporting people through losses and major life transitions. She also supports those coping with relationship strain, sleep difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she notices often include attachment and abandonment worries, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and questions about life purpose.

Lisa draws on client-centred listening alongside tools from cognitive behavioural approaches and other therapies to suit each person. She keeps sessions grounded and practical, while making space for deeper reflection when it helps. Her aim is to help people feel heard and to build skills they can use outside the room.

Taking a first step can feel difficult. Lisa offers a warm, supportive way to begin that process and stays alongside people as they work towards clearer choices and better day-to-day coping.

How these approaches work online

Client-centred therapy is based on listening and following what you bring to the session. The counsellor reflects your concerns, helps you clarify what matters, and supports your own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided stimulation; it can help when past events continue to cause strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with you and decide together which methods suit your goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and practical steps between meetings.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow conversations from a familiar setting. It also lets people choose shorter check-ins or longer therapy sessions depending on what fits their life. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists routinely adapt their methods to work effectively at a distance, and this counsellor will help you choose a way of working that suits your day-to-day needs.
