About Lisa

Lisa Anderson is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience who brings long-standing personal study in spirituality, mindfulness, meditation, and somatic experiencing to her clinical work. Her decades of personal practice inform a gentle, body-aware approach that complements formal training and supports people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related concerns.

She orients much of her practice around a polyvagal perspective, which seeks to nurture felt safety and wellbeing within the nervous system. In sessions she adopts a person-centered stance - warm, nonjudgmental, honest, and respectful - believing that a compassionate therapeutic relationship helps create the conditions for healing and change. Clients can expect empathic listening and guidance to notice physical sensations, thoughts, and emotions as part of a mindful process of integration.

Lisa works collaboratively, following each person to explore their unique needs around relationships, attachment, grief, self-esteem, stress, ADHD, and other life challenges. She also holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Lisa supports clients who are seeking a kind, relational approach to therapy and is accepting new clients based in the United Kingdom.

Integrating Attachment and Acceptance in Online Therapy

Lisa Anderson integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without excessive struggle and to clarify personal values so they can take meaningful action - it is useful for stress, anxiety, and living with difficult emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how attachment needs and defenses affect current intimacy and trust - it is helpful for relationship, attachment, and abandonment concerns. Lisa also draws on person-centered principles that prioritize empathy, respectful presence, and following the client’s pace in therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Lisa collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the relationship and goals evolve. This collaborative process helps tailor care to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling more flexible around work, caregiving, or mobility needs. These remote options allow people to access licensed professionals from their own environments while preserving the relational focus and practical tools that support lasting change.
