Lisa Ali, NCPS

Lisa Ali is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She draws on six years of practice to help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, or relationship struggles. She explains things clearly and meets each person where they are. Lisa holds an NCPS credential and completed a BA Honours degree in Humanistic Counselling. In sessions she aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard. She works at the client’s pace and focuses on building a trusting relationship. That can mean listening, reflecting back what is said, and helping people spot patterns that keep them stuck. Lisa uses person-centred ideas alongside solution-focused steps. That combination helps with immediate worries and longer-term change. She also draws on trauma-focused approaches when past events affect daily life. Practical tools may include emotion regulation strategies, grounding, and simple behavioural steps to reduce overwhelm. She has supported people with a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, parenting strain, and challenges linked to neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism. Work can include exploring identity, setting boundaries, and building confidence. People wanting to start are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. Lisa accepts international clients and offers sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online counselling

Lisa works from a person-centred foundation that focuses on what matters to the client. This approach means listening carefully, reflecting feelings back, and helping people feel understood so they can decide what to explore next. It suits people wanting a respectful, pace-led way to talk about difficult feelings.

She also uses solution-focused techniques which focus on small, practical steps. These help when someone wants quick, doable changes like better sleep habits, coping strategies for anxiety, or clearer communication. Trauma-focused work is used when past experiences continue to affect current life; this involves stabilising skills and gentle processing tailored to the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable, and will adapt methods to fit the person. That collaborative conversation helps decide whether to focus on practical solutions, deeper emotional work, or a mix of both.
