About Lisa
Lisa Howarth is a counsellor who offers online support for anxiety, low self-worth, grief and life transitions. She works with people dealing with trauma, relationship questions, neurodivergence and patterns such as people-pleasing or emotional withdrawal. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth and aimed at helping people feel steadier and clearer about next steps.
Lisa draws on client-centred ways of working to place the person's experience at the centre of sessions.
Background and approach
She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness and somatic techniques to help people feel more grounded in their bodies. Systemic thinking informs how she looks at relationships and patterns in a person's life. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding.
Conversations aim to make sense of boundaries, attachment and unmet needs. Lisa supports people to build self-esteem, develop healthier habits and practise kinder self-talk. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Lisa has seven years' experience working with adults online and welcomes conversations about how therapy could fit into someone’s schedule and goals. People meet by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Work is paced to the individual, with room for practical problem solving, emotional processing and building long-term coping skills.

Online support
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person's pace. In online sessions this means space to talk, be heard and shape goals together. It helps when someone wants support to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most.Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches simple tools to test unhelpful beliefs. Online CBT can include worksheets, short experiments between sessions and practical tasks to try during the week, which suit people aiming for concrete change.
Systemic thinking pays attention to patterns across relationships and life settings. Even in individual online sessions, this perspective helps identify repeating dynamics and small changes that can shift how someone interacts with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then adapt methods together. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing support or fitting therapy into a busy day. Registered professionals and therapists often combine these options to match practical needs and therapeutic aims.
