About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and depression. Lisa also helps with relationship and family concerns, addiction-related issues, sleeping and eating difficulties, and codependency-related patterns.
Lisa keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what matters most and helps people notice how their thoughts and actions affect day-to-day life. She uses practical tools and short exercises in the room to try out new ways of coping and relating.
Her work draws on client-centred principles that place the person's own goals at the heart of therapy. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test alternatives. Solution-focused methods are used for clearer, action-based steps when a person wants short-term change.
Hypnotherapy is another approach she offers, used as a complementary tool alongside talking therapies for issues like anxiety, sleep problems or unhelpful habits. Lisa explains options and works with each person to decide which methods to try first.
People who come to Lisa often want practical support with setting boundaries, coping with strong emotions, or managing life changes such as bereavement, adoption or recovery from substance use. She encourages small, workable steps so progress is easier to see.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Lisa works with client-centred methods that focus on what matters to the person. That means the conversation follows the person's concerns and priorities, and the counsellor helps clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and to try out alternative responses, which can help with anxiety, mood and everyday coping.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Lisa will talk through the approaches and decide together which to prioritise based on the person's goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaborative process can include mixing short-term solution-focused steps with CBT techniques or trying hypnotherapy where appropriate.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer sessions that fit around work, family commitments or recovery plans, and the therapist will help plan appointments that suit the person's day-to-day life.
