About Lisa
Lisa Guy provides warm, supportive counselling for people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, career worry, depression and life changes. She aims to help people make sense of their thoughts and feelings and to find ways to feel more valued and able in day-to-day life.
Her style is calm and person-centred. She offers a non-judgemental space where clients can talk at their own pace. Conversations focus on understanding what matters to the client and on practical steps they want to take.
Lisa works integratively, drawing on person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas. She adapts her approach to suit each person, rather than using one fixed method. This means sessions can involve reflective listening, gentle exploration of past patterns, and attention to present concerns that affect work and wellbeing.
Before qualifying in counselling she spent 19 years in IT and also worked in retail and market research. That background shapes her understanding of workplace pressures and how job stress can affect home life. She has supported people with depression, anxiety, stress, communication problems, workplace issues and family-related concerns.
Lisa holds a CPCAB Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and is a Registered Member of BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She began counselling after mentoring colleagues and volunteering at local charities, and she continues to work with people from varied cultural backgrounds.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Lisa draws on person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to shape her work. Person-centred counselling emphasises listening and empathy to help a person feel understood and to build self-worth. Humanistic approaches focus on a person's capacity to grow and make choices that suit their values and life goals. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns from the past that may influence current feelings and relationships, helping people spot and change repeating patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques as the work progresses. Clients and therapist review progress together and change direction when needed.
For practical details about online sessions confirm the formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also suit people who prefer to speak from a comfortable setting or who need more flexible timing. Registered or accredited professionals can usually advise which session arrangements will best meet a person's needs.
