Lisa Bell , BACP

Lisa Bell is a UK qualified integrative counsellor with a BA (Hons) first class degree and three years of professional practice. She combines a flexible, person-focused approach with evidence-based techniques to support people facing stress, anxiety and a range of other challenges. Lisa has specialist training and experience working with LGBTQ+ related concerns, trauma and abuse, and she also supports people dealing with depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties, addiction, rape and domestic abuse.

Her practice is rooted in the belief that each person is the expert in their own story and that existing strengths can be used to move through difficult times. Lisa aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences at a pace that feels right for them. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on integrative methods to tailor support to individual needs.

Taking the first step toward change often takes courage, and Lisa offers steady, compassionate support to help clients work toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. She focuses on collaboration, listening carefully to each person’s priorities and adapting her approach to fit their goals.

Integrative and evidence-based support available online

Lisa practises integrative counselling, blending different evidence-based techniques to match each person's needs. Integrative counselling focuses on the whole person and adapts methods from multiple approaches so therapy can address emotional patterns, relationships and life transitions in a flexible way.

Given her specialist work with trauma and abuse, Lisa uses trauma-informed principles to help people process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable. This approach emphasizes safety, stabilization and careful pacing to support recovery from intense stress and past harm.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lisa works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She listens to each person's priorities and adjusts interventions as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and format, allowing clients to choose the way of communicating that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
