About Louisa

Louisa Cibrian is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship difficulties, grief and low mood. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, sleep or eating problems, and life transitions such as career changes or coping with ADHD.

Louisa uses a range of approaches to suit different needs. She emphasises the role of early relationships in how people feel now and draws on attachment-based ideas to look at those patterns. She also uses client-centred work that focuses on listening and on what the person themselves wants to explore.

Her background includes supporting people through loss and relationships that have ended. Louisa works with intimacy-related issues and with people who have concerns about self-esteem. She approaches addictions by looking at root causes and current coping strategies rather than blaming the person.

In sessions she describes working at each person’s pace. Psychodynamic perspectives are used to help raise self-awareness and link current difficulties to past experiences. Trauma-focused ideas are available when people need to address painful events more directly.

Louisa accepts international clients and conducts work in English. She asks people to follow the site’s booking steps: complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange an initial session. Costs vary by location and are managed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches translate to online work

Louisa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when someone wants to understand recurring relationship difficulties or struggles with closeness and trust.

She also uses client-centred work that prioritises listening and the person’s own goals. That style suits people who want a space to talk things through, build confidence and decide their next steps at their own pace.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Louisa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they will decide which methods fit best. This collaborative planning helps shape what happens in early sessions and beyond.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing appointments around study and work. If you need to check which session formats she offers, confirm the options when booking. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy manageable alongside everyday commitments.
