Lisa Chadwick, BACP

Lisa Chadwick uses a client-centred approach at the heart of her work. She creates a calm space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and depression. Lisa encourages honest conversation and helps clients find practical steps forward.

She has a BACP credential and around ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Over that time she has supported people dealing with life changes, grief, parenting strain, career worries and addictive behaviours. ADHD, body image and communication problems are also included in her practice focus.

Lisa combines Client-Centred Therapy with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and short-term techniques from Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix lets sessions be both exploratory and action-oriented, depending on what a person needs in the moment. She keeps language plain and therapy goal-focused.

Sessions look at patterns that cause distress and then test small changes that can ease day-to-day life. She also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, dissociation and past abuse, helping people rebuild a sense of safety and control. Lisa aims to help clients notice what is already working and build on it.

People are invited to start by describing their current concerns and what they want to change. The emphasis is on practical, manageable steps and on finding ways to cope better between sessions. This approach is suited to those facing health challenges, major life transitions or ongoing stress.

How client-centred and practical approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor, listening without judgement and following what matters most to that person. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings and to be heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple experiments and exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small steps that move a person towards their goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and daily routine, and together they will pick practical methods that fit. The process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue sessions during life changes or health challenges. Registered or accredited professionals often use online appointments to help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday demands.
