Lisa Rowley , BACP

Lisa Rowley is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience supporting young people and adults in both private practice and school settings. She has worked directly with young people who have experienced domestic abuse and offers support to adults coping with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the effects of domestic violence.

Lisa aims to provide a non-judgemental and empathetic environment where people feel able to share their thoughts and emotions. Through collaborative conversation she works with clients to explore root causes and to develop a practical plan for change. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping individuals to make sense of difficult feelings and life challenges.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life often takes courage, and Lisa is committed to supporting people through that process so they do not have to face challenges alone. She holds BACP, which is membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. Lisa works with a broad range of issues including relationships, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, addictions, caregiver stress, career concerns, and midlife transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship in which the person is listened to without judgement. It helps people who need space to explore feelings, build self-awareness, and find their own solutions to life challenges.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties with coping by helping people develop new strategies and skills for managing problems.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a technique used to process and reduce the impact of distressing memories and trauma. It can be helpful for people who continue to experience intrusive memories, strong emotional reactions, or avoidance related to past events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa will work collaboratively with each person to explore goals, preferences, and needs and to decide which methods or combination of methods are likely to be most helpful. This collaborative process is guided by clear communication and ongoing review of progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow continuity of care when in-person appointments are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver effective support while remaining responsive to each person's circumstances.
