Lisa Szramowski , BACP

Lisa Szramowski is a counsellor who focuses on women's issues such as stress, anxiety, grief and low self esteem. She offers a warm, down-to-earth presence and practical tools to help people manage depression and cope with life changes. Lisa aims to make the first steps into therapy feel less daunting by meeting people with kindness and respect.

She draws on seven years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which she uses to guide her practice in the United Kingdom. Sessions are intended to help people feel heard and to build skills that support day-to-day life, such as managing worry, dealing with loss, and rebuilding confidence.

Lisa often works with people who are navigating relationship and attachment difficulties, including abandonment, commitment and communication problems. She also supports those facing blended family challenges, divorce and separation, and the emotional impacts of chronic illness or disability. Fertility concerns, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness are other areas she addresses.

Therapy with Lisa is described as practical and empathic. She helps people learn techniques to become more resourced and empowered in making changes. Conversations aim to be straightforward, so that clients leave with clear ideas to try between sessions.

Sessions are available in English and Lisa accepts international clients. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose the way that fits them best.

Therapeutic approaches and online access

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One common approach is skills-based work to manage anxiety and stress, which teaches breathing, grounding and coping strategies people can use in daily life. Another strand centres on grief and loss support, offering space to tell difficult stories and find ways to adjust to change while respecting individual timing and pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the person's needs. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so techniques remain relevant and practical.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These options provide flexibility for different schedules, work patterns and day-to-day commitments, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work with registered or accredited professionals.
