Lisa Anderson , BACP

Lisa Anderson is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional practice who draws on a long personal history of spiritual and somatic exploration. Her background includes more than 25 years of work with mindfulness, meditation and somatic experiencing, and these practices inform a gentle, body-aware approach to emotional healing. She supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and works with intimacy-related concerns using a polyvagal-informed lens that orients therapy toward safety and regulation.

Her work is grounded in a person-centered stance that emphasizes kindness, honesty and respect. Lisa creates a collaborative relationship in which empathic listening and careful attention to physical sensations, thoughts and feelings guide the process. That mindful, somatic focus is used to help individuals reconnect with their natural capacity for integration and healing. She holds BACP credentials - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and integrates approaches that address attachment, relationships and life transition issues.

Lisa believes a single kind and safe therapeutic relationship can be a vital source of support. She follows each person and adapts to their unique needs, helping them take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa Anderson integrates several evidence-informed approaches in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most and learn practical ways to live more consistently with their values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns rooted in early relationships and helps address issues such as abandonment, codependency and intimacy difficulties by exploring how connecting and relating shape emotional responses.

Her person-centered orientation prioritizes an empathic, non-judgmental relationship that supports exploration and self-directed change. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process - Lisa will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the work evolves.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, allow for shorter or more frequent check-ins when helpful, and help integrate therapy into day-to-day life while working with registered professionals and experienced therapists.
