Lisa Chadwick , BACP

Lisa Chadwick is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a warm, person-centred approach to help people feel heard and understood. She holds BACP accreditation and brings ten years of practical experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.

She helps people who have faced trauma, abuse or loss to make sense of painful memories and current reactions. Lisa also works with those dealing with parenting strain, grief, addiction or major life changes, and she can support people managing ADHD, self-esteem and career worries.

In sessions she sets a calm, non-judgemental tone and focuses on what matters most to each person. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy are used when helpful to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of coping. Solution-focused techniques are introduced to identify small steps that move someone toward clearer goals.

Lisa aims to work at a pace that suits the individual, listening first and then tailoring techniques to real-life problems. Conversations cover feelings, patterns in relationships, and concrete strategies to reduce daily stress and anxiety.

People seeking support for issues often described as women’s concerns can find her perspective relevant and understanding. Sessions are offered in English and take place through online video, phone, live chat or text messaging.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects feelings and follows the client's pace so people feel understood and able to talk about difficult topics.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online sessions may include simple exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for realistic, short-term steps that move someone toward their goals. In practice this means setting clear, achievable targets and reviewing progress each session to build momentum.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, listen to goals and preferences, and agree a plan that fits the person's needs. This collaborative process can combine listening, practical CBT techniques and solution-focused steps as helpful.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a work break, while live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins and ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and try different ways of working to see what fits best.
