About Lisa
Lisa Oxley is a counsellor registered with the NCPS and has ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who struggle with stress and anxiety, addictions, anger, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as codependency. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people notice what is getting in their way and build clearer patterns of coping.
She treats people as the experts on their own lives and looks for strengths to draw on. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, useful changes that reduce overwhelm. That can mean learning clearer ways to say no, managing strong emotions, or cutting down behaviours that have become harmful.
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help with mood, trauma responses, and addictive behaviours. She talks clients through skills they can use between sessions. Work may include practising boundary-setting, exploring repeated patterns in relationships, and planning steady steps to handle triggers.
Her style is practical and collaborative. She helps people set realistic goals and checks progress each session. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting stress, feelings of emptiness, or difficulties after separation.
To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions operate through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One common approach she uses is skills training to manage strong feelings and reduce impulsive responses; this helps people who struggle with anger, anxiety or addictive urges by teaching step-by-step tools to use when they feel triggered.Another approach involves looking at repeated relationship patterns and practising alternative responses. This helps people who find themselves losing themselves in relationships, people-pleasing, or living around someone else's moods. It emphasises noticing patterns and trying small changes in everyday interactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed. The therapist treats the client as the expert on their life and tests practical steps together.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins or video conversations when that suits the person. These practical benefits help people try new ways of coping without overhauling their daily routine.
