About Luisvet
Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with young adults on common early-adulthood pressures such as career uncertainty, stress and anxiety, low self-esteem, relationships and family issues. Luisvet also supports people facing trauma, depression, eating concerns and ADHD-related challenges. She offers sessions in English and Spanish and does not accept international clients.
Luisvet uses several well-established approaches in her sessions. She values a client-centred way of working, which means sessions focus on the person's own perspective and priorities. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try out different coping strategies. Mindfulness ideas and psychodynamic reflections can be used to look at lasting patterns and current responses.
In practical terms her sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Conversations are used to clarify what is most troubling now. Together they set small, achievable steps and track progress from week to week. Sessions may include short exercises between meetings to build new habits.
Her background is rooted in counselling practice under the BACP framework. That qualification appears as BACP and indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her three years of clinical experience include supporting people through family problems, bereavement, separation, and issues around body image and addiction.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred work places the person's concerns and choices at the centre of the session. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps prioritise the issues to tackle. This approach suits people who want to set the pace and shape of therapy themselves.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear exercises and experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with anxiety, stress and career-related worry. Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices for attention and breathing that can reduce rumination and increase calm in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which to try based on the client's goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work and busy schedules. They can allow quicker check-ins, avoid travel time, and make it simpler to balance sessions around other commitments.
