Lisa Chadwick

Lisa Chadwick is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP registration and has ten years of experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and depression. She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and start to make changes.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps people identify practical steps for coping with everyday pressures. Lisa draws on client-centred practice to keep conversations focused on what matters to each person. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and solution-focused methods to set realistic short-term goals.

People contact her about a wide range of problems, including grief, parenting strain, self-esteem, career stress and ADHD-related challenges. Additional areas she pays attention to include attachment and abandonment issues, communication problems, control and guilt, and the emotional impact of illness such as cancer.

Sessions aim to be clear and goal-oriented while staying responsive to each person’s pace. Lisa helps clients build small, concrete steps to feel steadier day to day. She also offers space to process more painful experiences and to work through choices about relationships and life changes.

To begin, prospective clients use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they can schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches that shape online work

Lisa uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person’s experience. That means sessions start with listening and understanding what matters most to the individual, helping them feel heard and seen. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and achievable goals to create forward momentum.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. This collaborative process helps choose a mix of methods that suit the client’s needs and pace, rather than imposing a single way of working.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue work with the same therapist after relocating within the UK. Check session formats and scheduling details during the matching step so practical arrangements fit everyday commitments.
