Lisa McCormack , BACP

Lisa McCormack is a counsellor who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those facing depression, trauma and major life changes. Lisa works with women who want to rebuild confidence after unhealthy relationships and people trying to set clearer boundaries.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Conversations aim to make feelings easier to understand and to develop coping steps that can be tried between meetings. Sessions are led at the client's pace, with an emphasis on listening and practical problem solving.

Lisa draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques. That mix lets her offer emotional support and hands-on tools for thinking habits and unhelpful patterns. The result is a blend of reflective listening and concrete skill-building.

Her work often focuses on issues such as attachment and abandonment worries, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, communication difficulties, control issues, and the aftermath of separation. She also helps with guilt, shame, loneliness, life purpose and mood disorders including panic and post-traumatic stress.

With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Lisa brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, using a range of online formats to suit different needs.

How Lisa's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It gives space to speak about difficult experiences while the counsellor reflects back what they are noticing. This approach helps people who need emotional acceptance and clearer sense of their own choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and introduces practical exercises to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and increase moment-to-moment calm.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the journey. Lisa works collaboratively to find what fits each person's goals and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to try first and how to measure progress.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or health needs while keeping continuity of care across locations.
