About Lisa
Lisa Wan is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with nine years of counselling experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and anger, among other concerns. She has experience supporting people affected by trauma and abuse and by complex emotional difficulties.
She previously qualified as a holistic therapist in 1998 and noticed early on that clients valued the time to talk as much as the physical treatments. That observation led her into person-centred counselling and then to an integrative style that draws on several approaches. She follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Ethical Framework and receives monthly clinical supervision.
Her work often focuses on practical, present-day difficulties such as workplace stress, relationship strain, sleep problems and managing strong emotions like anger. She also supports people with longer-standing patterns including codependency, dissociation and compulsive behaviours. Sessions aim to help people understand what is driving their responses and to develop clearer, more manageable ways of coping.
Lisa has provided counselling for local organisations supporting women and male survivors of sexual abuse. She continues to attend continuing professional development and specialised workshops to broaden her skills. She is DBS checked and follows GDPR practice.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. For those who want to begin, the pathway is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current ways of connecting. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in relationships and practise different responses to anger and conflict. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. In an online setting this tends to mean steady, person-focused conversations that help someone clarify feelings and decide what to try next. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce reactivity. These practices can help when anger feels sudden or overwhelming, and they are easy to practise between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and can adapt the plan as progress and priorities change. The biography does not list the exact online formats offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into a busy life - it can save travel time, make scheduling easier and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or avoid video when that better suits the person’s day-to-day routine.Areas of focus
