About Lisa Howarth

Lisa Howarth is a warm, down-to-earth counsellor who offers online therapy for anxiety, self-worth, relationships, trauma, neurodivergence, and life transitions. She works with people from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of concerns, including grief, low mood, anxiety, long-standing patterns such as people pleasing and self-blame, emotional disconnection, shame, and the lingering effects of trauma. Lisa supports clients who want to understand their relationships more deeply, explore boundaries and attachment, and gently build trust, self-esteem and self-compassion.

She practises in a person-centred way and brings trauma-informed, neurodiversity-aware thinking into the therapeutic space. Lisa is an LGBTQIA+ ally and supports exploration of identity, relationships and sexuality, including questions about desire, pleasure, boundaries and intimacy. She works with both male and female survivors of sexual abuse, offering a steady, sensitive space for experiences that can be difficult to speak about.

As a trainee psychosexual and relational psychotherapist, Lisa helps partners improve communication, recognise recurring patterns, and reconnect with one another emotionally and sexually. She holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which links her to recognised professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Person-centred and trauma-informed approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers support and reflection. This approach helps people who want to explore their sense of self, improve self-esteem, and work through relationship issues at their own pace.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding how past traumatic experiences affect current thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers structured ways to process painful memories and develop coping strategies for symptoms that interfere with daily life, including anxiety, shame and emotional avoidance.

Mindfulness Therapy brings gentle attention to the present moment, helping people notice thoughts and sensations without getting overwhelmed. It can be useful alongside other approaches for managing stress, reducing reactivity, and building self-compassion.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences, and she tailors methods over time so the therapy fits the individual. She also draws on her training in psychosexual and relational work when relationship or intimacy issues arise.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options allow licensed professionals to offer consistent, ongoing care in ways that suit each client’s schedule and communication style.
