Lisa Bell , BACP

Lisa Bell is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and LGBTQ concerns. She also helps with depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, sleep problems and difficulties with parenting and anger. Lisa holds a BACP accreditation, and has three years of professional experience in counselling.

She works in a straightforward, calm way and believes clients are the experts on their own lives. Sessions focus on listening, making sense of what is happening now, and finding practical steps that feel manageable. Lisa aims to create space for people to name painful experiences and to notice their own strengths.

Her approach is integrative, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to each person. That means practical tools when needed, and time to process feelings when that’s what helps. Lisa pays attention to life changes, career stress, compassion fatigue and the long tail of trauma.

Clients often bring complex, overlapping issues such as chronic illness, caregiving strain, attachment concerns and body image. Lisa offers paced support that balances emotional processing with everyday coping strategies. She works with matters linked to ADHD, codependency and communication problems too.

Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches you can expect and how online sessions help

Lisa uses an integrative, evidence-based way of working that combines practical coping skills with time to process difficult feelings. One common technique she draws on teaches clear breathing and grounding skills to reduce anxious sensations and improve sleep; this can help people who struggle with panic, insomnia or high daily stress. Another element focuses on talking through past hurt and abusive experiences at a pace the client chooses, which supports people trying to make sense of trauma and rebuild trust in themselves.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and adapt methods to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively whether to focus more on practical strategies, emotional processing, or a mix of both.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that suit different lives. Video calls approximate face-to-face contact and allow for deeper conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, while live chat or text-based messaging make brief check-ins and ongoing written reflection easier. These options help people keep therapy going around work, caregiving or other commitments.
