Lisa Howarth, MBACP (member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), is a counsellor and a trainee Psychosexual and Relational Psychotherapist practising online from the United Kingdom. She offers online therapy for anxiety, self-worth, relationship difficulties, trauma, neurodivergence and life transitions, and has 7 years of experience supporting people through these challenges.
Warm and down-to-earth in her approach, she welcomes people from all walks of life. Clients may approach her with grief, low mood, anxiety or long-standing patterns such as people-pleasing, self-blame or emotional disconnection. She also works with those carrying trauma or shame, people feeling distant from themselves, and anyone wanting a deeper understanding of their relationships.
She takes a person-centred, trauma-informed and neurodiversity-aware approach, and identifies as an LGBTQIA+ ally. She supports exploration of identity, relationships and sexuality, including issues around desire, pleasure, boundaries and intimacy. She works with male and female survivors of sexual abuse, providing a steady and sensitive space for experiences that can be difficult to speak about.
As a trainee Psychosexual and Relational Therapist, Lisa can help partners communicate more openly, recognise and change unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with each other both emotionally and sexually. Her work focuses on building trust, self-esteem and self-compassion while exploring boundaries, attachment and unmet needs.
Many people ask whether online therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or navigating life changes, evidence shows that therapy delivered remotely can be as effective as traditional face-to-face work.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their life, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to attend regular sessions and maintain continuity of care.
All therapists involved are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they need a different therapeutic fit. Online therapy provides practical access to professional support while preserving the core elements of effective treatment for many everyday mental health and relationship issues.
