Lisa Oxley , NCPS

Lisa Oxley is a UK-based therapist with 10 years of professional experience who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and a range of other challenges. Holding the NCPS credential, which indicates formal professional training in counselling and psychotherapy, she combines clinical knowledge with a practical, strengths-based outlook.

Lisa approaches each person as the expert on their own life, building on existing strengths to help clients navigate difficult emotions, manage cravings or anger, repair family and partner relationships, and cope with grief, parenting pressures or major life changes. Her work also addresses issues such as low self-esteem, eating and food-related concerns, compassion fatigue, and problems arising from separation, blended families, codependency, or caregiving stress.

Clients can expect a respectful, collaborative process in which Lisa helps identify realistic goals and develops tailored strategies for change. She acknowledges the courage it takes to begin therapy and encourages people to feel proud of themselves for taking that initial step. Her practice aims to offer practical tools and empathetic support to help people move forward from the challenges they bring.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Lisa Oxley draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building practical skills. One approach emphasizes helping people identify and reframe negative thoughts and develop healthier coping responses - this is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems. Another approach centers on skills training for managing impulses, cravings, or intense emotions, which can support recovery from addictions, anger issues, and difficult relationship dynamics. She also uses trauma-informed principles to help people carefully process past harm and rebuild a sense of safety and control after abuse or loss.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to help clients experiment with techniques and choose what works best alongside their daily life.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, to fit sessions around work or family commitments, and to receive support from home, while allowing therapists and clients to adapt the format as goals evolve.
