About Lisa
Lisa Crosby is a counsellor who brings 14 years of UK practice to conversations about stress, anxiety and parenting concerns. She holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) accreditation and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel straightforward. Lisa views each person as the expert on their life and focuses on building from existing strengths.
She works in a practical, down-to-earth way. Sessions often begin by identifying the immediate problems that cause the most strain. Lisa helps people notice what is already working and tries small, manageable ways to change what is not. The tone is collaborative and paced to suit each person.
Her background includes supporting people with low self-esteem, confidence and coping through life changes. She also works with stress, relationship concerns, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues connected to identity including LGBT matters. Additional areas of focus include body image, first responder issues, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, self-harm, self-love, sexual assault and young adult issues.
Clients can expect clear, simple tools to use between meetings. Lisa emphasises practical steps as well as talking through feelings. Over time she helps people build routines that reduce overwhelm and increase resilience.
To begin, she encourages a calm, steady pace and a focus on achievable change. The approach aims to make therapy feel useful from early sessions while keeping longer term goals in view.
How practical approaches work in online therapy
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problem solving and building useful habits. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence, which can reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on small behaviour changes and routines to improve confidence and coping during life transitions and parenting challenges.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the person to agree what to try first, monitor how it feels, and adjust plans if needed. This collaborative way helps match methods to the person's goals and preferences rather than applying a single method to everyone.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people continue therapy when relocating within the same country and can help maintain momentum between in-person options.
