Lisa Ellerton, BACP

Lisa Ellerton is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience and BACP registration. She offers a calm, welcoming space for people to talk through worries. Lisa aims to help clients who are feeling anxious, depressed or overwhelmed by life changes. She supports people dealing with stress, addictions, relationship concerns and coping with bereavement or major change. Her work also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, control issues and commitment concerns. Lisa has experience with chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress and the emotional effects of ageing. Lisa has a background in helping people with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive patterns, trauma and dissociation. She understands how neurodivergent people may experience anxiety or depression differently because of social or sensory challenges. This understanding shapes how she listens and plans sessions. Clients can expect a warm and genuine approach. Sessions move at the client’s pace and focus on practical ways to manage symptoms day to day. Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address emotional and behavioural patterns. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aiming to make therapy simple to access and follow. She encourages people to bring what matters most to them and works with them to find clearer ways forward. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building practical coping skills. One common approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against everyday experience to reduce anxiety and low mood; this helps people who struggle with worry or rumination. Another approach focuses on exploring how early attachment and abandonment concerns affect current relationships and behaviour, helping people notice long-standing patterns and make different choices. Finding the right method is part of the process and Lisa works collaboratively to decide what fits best. She listens to a person’s goals and preferences and adapts techniques over time, checking in about what helps and what needs to change. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can cut travel time, help people keep regular appointments and allow check-ins when schedules are tight. Telephone sessions can be used when a video call is not suitable, and online meetings can allow face-to-face contact without a commute; please confirm the exact session options before booking. These arrangements aim to make therapy more practical and easier to maintain alongside daily commitments.
