Lisa McAndrew, NCPS

Lisa McAndrew is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and anger. Lisa also supports clients facing issues with relationships, addiction, sleep and self‑esteem.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening now, spotting patterns that keep problems going, and testing small changes that can make daily life easier. She blends client‑centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution‑focused work to keep sessions grounded and goal oriented.

Lisa also uses hypnotherapy alongside talking therapies when clients want to try a different way to shift habits or reduce physical tension. She explains each option and checks that a method feels comfortable before using it. The emphasis is on clear steps rather than jargon, so clients know what to expect from each meeting.

People who come to Lisa often want help with concrete problems - getting less reactive, coping better at work, managing grief, or reducing urges linked to addictions. She works collaboratively to set priorities and practises simple tools together in session. Progress is measured in small, practical changes that fit into a client's everyday life.

If you want to begin, the usual first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Lisa accepts international clients and conducts work in English.
