Lisa McAndrew, NCPS

Lisa McAndrew is a UK-registered therapist who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She fosters an open, nonjudgmental setting where clients are invited to share thoughts and feelings and to explore difficult experiences at a pace that feels right for them.

She acknowledges that starting therapy can take courage and consistently affirms clients for taking that first step. Lisa works collaboratively to help clients process loss, manage overwhelming emotions and develop practical coping strategies tailored to their individual circumstances. She holds NCPS, a professional registration, and combines empathy with active listening to create a respectful therapeutic relationship.

Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and needs, and she accepts international clients who prefer remote support. Her approach blends compassionate presence with evidence-informed techniques to help people move through challenging times and build greater emotional resilience.

Approaches and online support tailored to your needs

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, focusing on empathy, acceptance and listening so people can explore their feelings and make choices that align with their values. This approach can be especially helpful for those who need a respectful, non-directive space to process emotions and build self-understanding.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, practical approach that looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. It teaches skills to identify unhelpful patterns and try new responses, which can help with anxiety, low mood and everyday stressors.

Hypnotherapy uses focused attention and guided imagery to support relaxation and to access resources for change; it can complement other approaches when clients are working on habits, stress management or building new mental routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Lisa will work collaboratively with each client to identify what fits best based on goals, preferences and needs. She adapts methods as the relationship and work evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow face-to-face conversation without travel, while live chat and text-based messaging let clients communicate in shorter or more frequent exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access registered professionals from different locations.
