Lisa Anderson

Lisa Anderson is a UK-licensed therapist with five years of professional experience. Her work is shaped by more than 25 years of personal exploration in spirituality, mindfulness, meditation and somatic experiencing, a background that deeply informs her therapeutic practice.

She offers support for people coping with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles and major life transitions. Lisa works with LGBT and gay clients and with older adults, bringing a polyvagal-informed approach that orients toward fostering safety and wellbeing.

Lisa practices in a person-centred way, believing that a kind, non-judgmental, honest and respectful therapeutic relationship provides the conditions for healing to emerge. She listens empathically and follows each person’s lead, while also guiding attention to physical sensations, thoughts and emotions as they arise.

Through mindful, somatic-based work Lisa supports clients to reconnect with the body’s natural capacities for integration and healing. She holds that at least one kind and safe relationship is fundamental to human health, and she aims to offer that collaborative, compassionate presence as people take the courageous step toward a more fulfilling life.
