About Luisa

Luisa Prosser is a BACP accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She works with adults on a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family difficulties, loss and addiction. Luisa also lists young adult issues among her focus areas and supports people exploring identity, sexuality and life direction.

Luisa previously worked with children, teens and adults in varied settings and has experience with clients diagnosed with ADHD, autism and other special educational needs. She helps people recognise strengths, make clearer study and career choices, and build a stronger sense of identity. She has supported people who have experienced parental conflict, separation, trauma and bereavement.

Her core training is in psychodynamic counselling, and over the years she has brought in cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused ideas, art-based exercises and mindfulness practices. Sessions are described by her as a space to talk things through, reflect and set practical goals. The first meeting is used to clarify reasons for seeking counselling and to agree achievable aims for further work.

Luisa aims to establish a trusting therapeutic relationship and listens for both hopes and fears. She works collaboratively to identify what can be done in counselling and to agree a plan with clear, realistic steps. Her approach is straightforward and focused on helping people find more stability and direction.

She works in English and accepts international clients. The counselling offer uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and session arrangements are confirmed after a short matching questionnaire and when a first session is scheduled.

How Luisa uses different approaches in online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship so the client can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. It supports people who are unsure about identity, relationships or next steps in life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and tests small changes to see what works. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with stress.

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that start in the past and repeat in current life. It can help when someone is puzzled by recurring relationship problems or by feelings that seem linked to earlier experiences.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and try different ways of working until you find what helps. This is part of the early sessions and decisions are reviewed as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the exact online options before booking. Many people find online counselling easier to fit around study, work and travel because it removes commute time and can be scheduled between other commitments. Online work also allows different activities such as short check-ins or exercises that fit into a busy week.
