About Lisa
Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and changes in life. She supports those facing low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also works with people dealing with eating and sleeping problems, anger, bipolar mood concerns, and trauma and abuse.
McAndrew keeps sessions simple and direct. She listens without judgment and encourages people to talk through their worries at a pace that suits them.
Background and approach
Her NCPS credential is shown as NCPS and reflects recognised registration in the UK. She uses hypnotherapy alongside client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches. In practice this means practical strategies in the moment, plus conversational work to understand what underlies repeated patterns.
Sessions aim to give tools that people can use between meetings. Her way of working is collaborative. She helps people set small, clear goals and checks in about what is helpful.
Where suitable, she offers short-term solution-focused work to tackle a specific problem quickly. McAndrew has seven years of experience working with a range of concerns. She accepts international clients and provides sessions from the United Kingdom.
People who reach out are guided through a simple sign-up and matching process to find a good fit.

Online support
How therapy approaches work online
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access different ways of thinking about a problem. It can be used alongside talking therapies to support habits, sleep patterns or anxiety management. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what is heard, helping people feel understood and find their own solutions.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, phobias and obsessive behaviours. The therapist will explain these approaches and discuss which ones might suit the person’s goals and situation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide what to try first based on needs, goals and personal preference. Plans are reviewed regularly so the work can be adjusted if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is lower, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to maintain momentum between meetings and to access help from different locations.
