Lisa Ali , NCPS

Lisa Ali is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people work through stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. She holds an NCPS credential and draws on six years of practical counselling experience. Lisa presents a calm, patient manner to make it easier to talk about difficult things.

She focuses on issues that often sit alongside one another, such as low mood, panic, grief and relationship strain. She also supports people with intimacy-related worries, body image concerns, sleeping problems and work-related fatigue. Lisa works with clients who identify as LGBT and with those navigating identity and neurodivergence issues such as ADHD and autism traits.

Sessions are shaped around each person's needs. Lisa aims to listen closely and reflect what she hears to help people gain clarity. She combines client-centred principles with solution-focused tools to set practical, manageable steps between sessions. For those affected by past harm, she brings trauma-focused techniques to gently address painful memories and their present-day effects.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and further professional development courses, including online and telephone counselling. The NCPS credential appears with her name as supplied. She has worked with people facing chronic illness, bereavement, codependency and communication problems.

Lisa offers video, phone, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life. International clients may be seen in English. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Approaches and online therapy options that fit your life

Client-centred therapy places the client's perspective at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps the person find their own answers, which can be useful for low self-esteem, identity questions and relationship worries.

Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical steps that move people toward their goals. It is brief and goal-orientated, and can help with stress, anxiety and situations where clear changes are wanted quickly.

Trauma-focused work addresses the impact of past harm on current feelings and behaviour. It aims to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories and to build coping skills for triggers and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and needs and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

Online sessions can suit people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good short check-in, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief updates or when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility so people can choose what fits their daily routine and communication style.
