Lisa Ali, NCPS

Lisa Ali, NCPS, uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client's experience first. She aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can feel heard and begin to make changes at their own pace. Lisa has six years of counselling experience and a BA Honours degree in Humanistic Counselling.

Her practice focuses on everyday problems such as anxiety, stress, low mood and relationship difficulties. She also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, grief, eating and sleeping problems, and issues around identity and intimacy. Lisa works with neurodivergent clients on emotional regulation, masking and social overwhelm.

In sessions she uses Client-Centred Therapy to follow what matters most to the client. She also draws on Solution-Focused work to set practical goals and Trauma-Focused approaches when past events are central to the distress. These approaches are used alongside conversational support and practical strategies.

Lisa describes her style as warm and empathic. She aims for a steady pace, helping people unpick old patterns, build confidence and learn new coping skills. She explains things plainly and uses short, practical steps when needed.

Her training includes BTEC qualifications in Health and Social Care and continuing professional development in bereavement, shame work and online counselling. Lisa is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted.

How Lisa's approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and following what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach offer space to speak without judgement and to set the pace that feels right. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasises clear, practical steps and short-term goals; it can help people try small changes between sessions and track progress over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That exploration might lead to focusing on understanding and safety first, or on concrete coping strategies and problem-solving.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit sessions into busy lives, for example by making it easier to schedule short check-ins or avoid travel time. Online work can also allow for quieter, low-bandwidth conversations when that suits the person better. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to make ongoing support more practical and flexible for everyday life.
