Lisa Ellerton
Warm, practical counselling for difficult life moments
About Lisa
Lisa Ellerton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice and a BACP credential. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk through stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship worries, depression and life changes. Lisa introduces herself simply and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for anyone who is struggling.
Lisa focuses on helping people cope with change, loss and the strong emotions that follow upsetting experiences.
Background and approach
She listens for how anxiety and low mood show up in daily life and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Practical conversation and steady support are used to build clearer day-to-day routines and choices. She has experience with abandonment issues, attachment concerns and aspects of neurodivergence such as autism and Asperger syndrome.
Lisa also works with people facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiving stress and ageing-related worries. Addictive behaviours, control and commitment issues, dissociation and the aftermath of divorce or domestic violence are also within her remit. Sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs.
Therapy is delivered through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Costs vary with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability.
Sessions are provided in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding symptoms, practical coping and improving daily routines. One approach involves exploring thoughts and behaviours to spot patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood; this helps people try new responses that reduce distress. Another approach works on the body and trauma-related symptoms, helping people learn how stress shows up physically and teaching ways to regulate those reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide collaboratively which feels most useful for the person's needs, goals and preferences. That way the plan can change if something isn’t helping.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let conversations feel close to face-to-face. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing written contact between calls. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
