About Ariana
Ariana Luisa is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has four years of practice. She works with adults on concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and relationship issues. Her focus also covers LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, eating and intimacy-related issues, and life changes such as career shifts or parenting challenges.
Ariana offers humanistic, open-ended, explorative therapy. She listens without giving direct advice and helps people talk through feelings, memories and relationships. Sessions aim to make connections between past experiences and present behaviour so clients can better understand themselves.
Her style is conversational and reflective. Conversations may bring up uncomfortable feelings at times, and she prepares clients for that normal part of therapy. Sessions can be useful when someone feels they have nobody else to share private thoughts with or wants a non-judgemental space to think clearly.
She provides video, live chat and messaging for in-between sessions. Ariana offers shorter 30 minute or 45 minute slots depending on need, and asks people to confirm scheduling details before booking. International clients are not accepted.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the platform's online options. Ariana holds a basic DBS check and is registered with the ICO.
Approach, online work and what to expect
Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and having your experience taken seriously. The counsellor follows the person rather than directing them, which can help when someone is trying to understand their feelings or make decisions about life changes. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from early relationships and memories. It helps people notice repeated ways of relating and understand why they happen, which can be useful for relationship or attachment concerns.Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. Ariana will work collaboratively to find a style that suits your needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying different angles in early sessions and reviewing what helps you make clearer choices about your life.
She offers video and live chat sessions, with messaging available between sessions. If you need specific session lengths there are 30 minute and 45 minute options. If you are unsure which formats are offered right now, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study, shifts and travel, allow quieter check-ins on busy days, or offer a way to meet without needing to travel to appointments.
