About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She supports those coping with life changes, relationship worries, addictions and issues around self-esteem. She also has experience with trauma, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and bipolar features.
Lisa works with people who are exploring adoption and foster care matters, attachment difficulties, codependency and related challenges. Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on what feels most pressing for the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Lisa aims to make space for thoughts and feelings and to help people find practical steps they can use between meetings. Lisa draws on Client-Centred Therapy to follow the client’s lead and build trust. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behaviour changes.
Hypnotherapy and Solution-Focused Therapy are also part of the toolkit for brief, goal-oriented work. She holds NCPS, which is shown as NCPS in credentials. Lisa has seven years of professional experience working with these concerns in the United Kingdom.
Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients when arrangements allow. People who meet her can expect clear, straightforward conversations. Practical coping skills are a common focus, as are short-term plans to tackle things like sleep, anxiety or addictive behaviours.
Lisa encourages gradual steps and checks in about progress at each meeting.

Approaches Lisa lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together they will decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as therapy progresses to focus on what helps most.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls are useful when visual contact matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or clients who prefer writing. These formats offer flexibility and make it possible to continue therapy from different locations while keeping the focus on practical progress.
