Lisa Fairclough , BACP

Lisa Fairclough is a United Kingdom based therapist with 10 years of professional experience and membership of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which represents counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK. She offers a warm, non-judgmental space where clients are invited to explore difficult thoughts and emotions at their own pace.

Recognizing that seeking support takes courage, she works alongside people to identify what matters to them and to take manageable steps toward a more fulfilling life. Her approach prioritizes empathy and respect, helping clients feel heard while they make sense of their experiences and consider new ways forward.

Lisa aims to support and empower individuals through life changes, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and other concerns. She focuses on collaboration, listening carefully to each person’s priorities and adapting the pace of work to match their needs. Her practice emphasizes practical, compassionate support that helps clients build resilience and clearer direction for the future.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lisa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work, a practical approach that helps people clarify their values and take committed actions that align with what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, emphasizing empathic listening and a non-judgmental stance so clients feel understood and supported while they explore their own solutions. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these approaches to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity to difficult thoughts and feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa collaborates with each person to select and adapt methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life, and to maintain continuity of care when schedules or circumstances change. Licensed professionals can tailor these formats to support ongoing progress and accessibility for a range of concerns.
