Lisa Walton

Lisa Walton is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She sees people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and ADHD, and she also supports those coping with life changes such as grief, illness or job loss. Lisa frames clients as the expert on their own lives and looks to build on their existing strengths.

In sessions she uses client-centred approaches alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. That means conversations focus on what matters to the person, while practical steps can be used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused when that fits, and more exploratory when people need to understand patterns that repeat in their life.

Lisa also works with people facing chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, and with those feeling isolated or questioning life purpose. She can help people notice small, manageable changes to daily routines and thinking that reduce strain and improve functioning. Her work recognises the impact of physical health and social isolation on mood and motivation.

With a short history of practice, Lisa draws on hands-on experience rather than lengthy specialisation. She places practical coping skills and clear steps at the centre of work with anxiety, depression and change. Conversations often move between understanding what happened, and testing small changes to see what helps.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. The counsellor follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them make sense of their feelings and decisions. This approach is useful when someone needs a space to clarify values or work through uncertainty.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical steps to test unhelpful thinking and try new responses. CBT is often chosen for anxiety, depression and when people want concrete tools to manage symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will explore a client’s aims, preferences and day-to-day demands, and together they will agree which methods to try. That collaborative decision is revisited as therapy progresses to make sure the approach remains useful.

Session formats are not listed in the provided profile, so please confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make sessions easier to fit around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow quieter check-ins or shorter appointments when needed. Registered and accredited professionals often use these practical advantages to help therapy fit into a person’s routine without promising a particular format.
