Lisa Howarth
Accessible counsellor for anxiety and relationships
About Lisa
Lisa Howarth is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-worth and depression. She supports those dealing with grief, trauma, addictions and intimacy-related issues. Lisa also works with concerns around sleep, eating, parenting, ADHD and relationship difficulties.
She keeps sessions straightforward and down-to-earth. Conversations focus on what feels most pressing, such as setting boundaries, understanding attachment, or rebuilding trust. Sessions aim to boost self-compassion and practical coping skills rather than using jargon.
Background and approach
Lisa uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Client-Centred Therapy is used to follow the client’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, often called CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours.
Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy are included when helpful, bringing attention to the body and present moment experience to reduce tension and anxiety. Trauma-Focused Therapy guides work with painful memories and their impact on day-to-day life. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Lisa has seven years' experience working with a range of emotional and relational issues. Sessions are offered online to people in the United Kingdom and internationally in English. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that suits them.
Costs vary with location and by subscription terms, which can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches you might use and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following the person's lead. The counsellor listens carefully and helps people reflect on what matters to them, which can be useful for self-esteem, identity and relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps spot patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and tries practical experiments to change them, which can suit issues like stress, phobias and sleep problems.
Mindfulness work brings attention to the present moment and can reduce rumination and tension. Somatic methods bring awareness to physical sensations that hold stress and can help with trauma-related symptoms.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and try methods that fit those aims. This remains a collaborative effort and approaches can be adjusted over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing, need brief daily support, or want to reflect in writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
