Lisa Oxley, NCPS

Lisa Oxley is a UK-accredited therapist with ten years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of life challenges. She holds NCPS, a UK professional registration, and brings a practical, strengths-based approach to her work, helping clients identify the resources they already possess and build new skills to manage difficult situations.

Lisa approaches each person as the expert of their own story, listening openly and collaborating to set goals that matter to the individual. She blends professional experience with a respectful, empathetic style to help people move through grief, cope with family and parenting struggles, address eating and substance-related issues, and work on self-esteem, communication, and coping with life changes.

Taking the first step toward therapy can require real courage, and Lisa acknowledges that decision while offering encouragement and clear guidance about next steps. She aims to create an environment where people feel able to explore challenges, develop practical strategies, and make sustainable changes at a pace that suits them.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy

Lisa Oxley draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on building practical skills to manage stress and anxiety. These skills-focused strategies help people recognise unhelpful patterns, develop coping tools, and reduce the impact of everyday pressures on mood and functioning.

She also offers trauma-informed, evidence-based support aimed at helping people process difficult experiences and rebuild a sense of safety and agency. This approach is useful for those dealing with abuse, loss, or complex emotional responses related to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review options and adjust methods as progress is made, prioritising what feels most helpful to the individual.

Online therapy with Lisa can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or caregiving responsibilities. These options make it easier to access support from home or work and to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
