Lisa Hughes , BACP

Lisa Hughes is a UK-based integrative counsellor with three years of professional experience who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self esteem, and depression. She combines a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet each person where they are, adapting her approach to the concerns and strengths a client brings. As an integrative counsellor and a wellbeing officer, she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored safely and honestly.

Lisa recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and that small steps can lead to meaningful change. Her practice focuses on empowering clients to build confidence, improve motivation, and develop practical coping skills for issues such as abandonment, body image, chronic pain or illness, isolation and loneliness, narcissistic dynamics, social anxiety, and women’s issues. She places emphasis on collaboration, tailoring interventions to each person rather than following a single rigid model.

Lisa holds BACP, a recognised counselling credential in the United Kingdom, which reflects her professional membership and commitment to ongoing professional development. She monitors messages regularly and responds in a timely way, though she does not work on weekends and will generally reply to messages received over the weekend on the following Monday.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to you

Lisa works from an integrative counselling framework, blending different therapeutic tools to suit each person's needs. Integrative counselling focuses on selecting methods that fit an individual - for example combining supportive dialogue, exploration of patterns, and practical skills work to address relationship issues, self esteem, or ongoing stress.

She also uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage anxiety, low mood, trauma-related difficulties, and day-to-day coping. These approaches often include structured strategies to reduce overwhelming thoughts and build resilience, alongside reflective work to process past experiences and improve self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa partners with clients to identify goals, try different methods, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds so that the work fits the client’s preferences and circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and communication styles. For many people, these options make it easier to access support from licensed professionals without rearranging large parts of daily life, while still allowing for focused, effective therapeutic work.
