About Lisa Howarth
Lisa Howarth is a warm and down-to-earth counsellor and a trainee psychosexual and relational psychotherapist who offers online therapy focused on anxiety, self-worth, relationships, trauma, neurodivergence, and life transitions. Drawing on seven years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - she brings a compassionate, person-centred approach that is informed by trauma work and awareness of neurodiversity.
She supports people navigating grief, low mood, persistent anxiety, and long-standing patterns such as people-pleasing, self-blame, or emotional disconnection. Her practice includes exploration of boundaries, attachment dynamics, and unmet needs, with an emphasis on building self-esteem, trust, and self-compassion over time. Lisa works with a wide range of concerns including stress, depression, relationship difficulties, addictions, parenting challenges, and issues related to intimacy and sexual well-being.
As an LGBTQIA+ ally she provides a respectful space to explore identity, relationships, and sexuality, including desire, pleasure, boundaries, and intimacy. She also offers sensitive support to male and female survivors of sexual abuse, holding a steady, empathetic environment for experiences that can feel difficult to talk about. As a trainee psychosexual and relational therapist, she helps partners improve communication, recognise repetitive patterns, and reconnect both emotionally and sexually.
Her clinical approach blends client-centred principles with cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness, somatic methods, trauma-focused therapy, and systemic thinking. This combination allows her to tailor work to individual needs, whether focusing on present coping skills, processing traumatic material, or addressing relational dynamics and neurodivergent needs.
