About Lisa
Lisa Wan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings a gentle, person-centred manner to sessions and aims to make talking about difficult things feel straightforward and manageable.
She uses an integrative approach that blends attachment-informed ideas, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions centre on what matters most to the person in front of her. Lisa listens for patterns that hold people back and helps them try simple, practical steps to feel steadier day to day.
Her background includes many years as a holistic therapist before moving into counselling. That early work shaped her focus on whole-person wellbeing alongside emotional change. Since qualifying as a counsellor she has spent nine years working with people affected by anxiety, depression and complex trauma, and she continues CPD through workshops and specialist training.
Lisa has provided counselling for Leicester Women’s Counselling Centre and for First Step, a service supporting male survivors of sexual abuse and rape. She receives monthly clinical supervision and works in line with the BACP Ethical Framework. Lisa offers help with a wide range of concerns including grief, codependency, addictions and workplace stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. If someone wants to explore how counselling might help, Lisa asks them to complete an initial matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to her availability.
How Lisa’s approaches fit with online counselling
Lisa uses attachment-based ideas to notice how early relationships shape current reactions. This helps when trust and closeness are hard, and it can guide work on intimacy-related problems and codependency. She also draws on client-centred practice, which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and what they want to change.Mindfulness techniques are used to bring attention into the present moment and to reduce overwhelming feelings. These can help with anxiety, sleep difficulties and coping with painful memories. Lisa combines these methods in a collaborative way so the person and therapist decide together what to try next based on needs, goals and preferences.
If you are considering online counselling, check what specific session options are currently offered before booking. Different formats suit different needs - for example phone sessions can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed, while video work allows for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Online appointments can make sessions easier to fit around work, reduce travel time and allow people to join from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting and will help find the style that feels most workable for each person.
