About Luisa

Luisa Prosser is a BACP accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief and anger. She also supports people dealing with sleep problems, self-esteem, career worries and life changes.

Her background includes psychodynamic counselling alongside cognitive behavioural approaches, solution-focused work and some art therapy and mindfulness techniques. Luisa commonly connects with clients by video call, phone or live chat. She has recent experience in private practice and online support, plus earlier work with young people and those with ADHD or autism.

Luisa uses a straightforward, person-centred style in sessions. She listens for what someone hopes to change and what they fear, and then agrees clear, achievable goals. Early sessions focus on getting to know one another and deciding how to proceed. The emphasis is on practical steps rather than jargon.

She has worked with people coming to terms with identity questions, family separation, bullying, and the effects of trauma or parental conflict. In those cases she helps clients recognise strengths, build a clearer sense of self, and plan realistic next steps for study, work or relationships.

When someone is unsure about therapy, Luisa aims to build a trusting, honest relationship first. Assessment and goal-setting come next. The first session is presented as a plain chance to discuss reasons for seeking help and agree what to work on together.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Luisa combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to address practical problems and the feelings behind them. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship while helping someone find their own solutions. CBT targets thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or recurring anger, and it often uses structured exercises and small practical tasks.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at longer-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-image. That approach can help when someone wants to understand repeated reactions or family influences that shape current difficulties. Choosing an approach is collaborative - the therapist and client review what works, agree on goals and adjust methods as progress is made.

If you are planning for online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking. The biography states she uses video calls, phone and live chat, so check which of these is offered for your situation. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time, which helps when juggling work, childcare or other commitments.
