About Luisa
Luisa Passalacqua is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 12 years of practice. She helps people manage anger, deal with trauma and abuse, and navigate family conflict. Sessions are offered in English, French and Italian, and she accepts international clients.
Her work centres on talking through what is happening now and understanding past patterns that keep repeating. She uses a mix of approaches to match the person in front of her, including Attachment-Based, Client-Centred, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and DBT tools. That means practical techniques to handle strong feelings, and conversations about relationships and history.
Clients come for a range of concerns beyond anger. These include sleep problems, stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, career strain, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses more specific areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, blended family concerns, body image and communication problems.
In sessions she offers space to name patterns like control issues, codependency and family of origin problems. There is attention to how past losses or trauma shape present reactions. Practical skills, clearer boundaries and greater self-understanding are part of the work.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. The focus is on steady, manageable steps rather than quick fixes.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and connection. Online conversations can trace patterns in relationships and how those patterns show up as anger or withdrawal. Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the centre of sessions, using open questions and reflective listening to help people say what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, like breathing exercises, thought records and activity planning to reduce spikes of anger.Figuring out which approach fits comes through working together. The therapist will review concerns, goals and preferences and suggest a combination of approaches. That recommendation can change over time as skills are practised and new issues emerge, and the client is invited to give feedback about what helps.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life. They can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time and make it possible to keep going when relocations or international arrangements would otherwise interrupt progress. Registered or accredited professionals use these options to keep regular contact and help people apply skills between sessions.
