About Lisa

Lisa Wan is a fully qualified and insured counsellor who works in line with the Ethical Framework set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the UK professional body for counselling. She receives monthly clinical supervision and maintains DBS and GDPR compliance as part of her ongoing professional practice. Her approach is integrative and holistically tailored, drawing on person-centred roots while adapting methods to suit each person she supports.

With nine years of experience in counselling, Lisa has spent the past seven years providing services for Leicester Woman’s Counselling Centre and for First Step, an organisation supporting male survivors of sexual abuse and rape. She has extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, and complex trauma and supplements her practice through regular continuing professional development and specialist training.

Lisa originally trained as a Holistic Therapist in 1998, where she observed how therapeutic conversation often complemented physical treatments. Over time she qualified as a person-centred counsellor and now describes her work as integrative, combining empathic, non-judgemental listening with targeted therapeutic techniques to address issues such as stress, grief, relationship difficulties, addictions, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. Her practice is focused on creating a safe, respectful space for exploration and healing.

Approaches and online support for healing and resilience

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and direction of work. It helps with issues such as low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and navigating life changes by emphasizing understanding and acceptance.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted methods to process traumatic experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. It can be helpful for those coping with complex trauma, abuse, or persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple present-moment awareness and practical skills to manage stress and anxiety. It supports people who want techniques for calming the mind, improving sleep, and responding differently to difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Lisa collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions so therapy feels relevant and effective.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to connect across locations, and to continue care when in-person sessions are impractical, while still working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists to support progress.
