About Lisa

Lisa McAndrew offers support for a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and sleep difficulties. She also helps people facing depression, relationship strain, addiction concerns and life changes. Lisa greets new clients with a direct, calm approach that aims to make first contact easier.

She keeps the conversation straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change in daily life. Lisa encourages people to name their worries and try small steps that feel manageable.

Lisa uses a mixture of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on client-centred conversation to follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and routines, and brief solution-focused work to set clear, achievable goals.

Her listed credential is NCPS and she has seven years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She works in English and accepts international clients.

People who come to Lisa often want practical tools and plain talk rather than lots of jargon. She aims to help people build steadier sleep, better coping with stress, and clearer steps through difficult periods.

Approaches to help you sleep and cope online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. The counsellor creates space for clients to describe what matters and to set the pace of change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and routines that keep problems going and teaches practical experiments to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what you want to change, try different ideas and agree together which methods feel most useful. That means sessions are collaborative and adjusted to your goals and preferences rather than one-size-fits-all.

The biography does not list which online formats are offered, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people attend from different locations if international arrangements are required.
