Lisa Chadwick, BACP

Lisa Chadwick is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and depression. She works in a warm, non-judgemental way and encourages open conversation so clients can say what they really think and feel. She asks simple questions and listens closely to understand what matters to each person.

In sessions she often uses client-centred ideas, helping people lead the conversation about their needs. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on solution-focused techniques to set clear, practical goals. These approaches are used together to suit the individual rather than as a fixed recipe.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, addiction concerns, and the challenges of major life changes. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, ADHD and body image issues. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems and difficulties after separation.

Clients can expect straightforward language and short-term tools alongside deeper conversations where needed. Sessions aim to build coping skills, clearer communication and steps towards everyday change. The therapist encourages small, workable tasks between meetings to help progress.

When someone is ready to begin, the process starts with a short questionnaire and scheduling through the service. Lisa supports people through practical next steps rather than promising instant fixes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's perspective at the centre of each session. The counsellor follows what the person brings and helps them explore feelings and choices in plain language. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps and clear goals to move forward rather than dwelling on problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and agree a plan together based on what the client needs and hopes to change. This collaborative decision can be revisited as sessions progress to keep things useful and relevant.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins if needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity during life changes while aiming to keep progress steady and goal-focused.
