About Luisa
Luisa Prosser is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 15 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and family concerns, parenting, grief, addiction and identity questions.
She offers direct, plain conversation and practical support. Initial sessions look at why someone has sought help and what small steps might feel useful. Luisa aims to agree clear, achievable goals together rather than leaving things vague.
Her background includes psychodynamic counselling alongside cognitive behavioural techniques, solution-focused ideas and elements of art therapy and mindfulness. She draws on these methods to help people understand patterns, try different ways of thinking and test behavioural changes in everyday life.
Luisa has worked with young people and adults who have ADHD, autism and other additional needs. She has supported people dealing with questions about sexuality and gender identity, school or work difficulties, parental separation and other family stresses. Much of her work helps clients develop confidence and a clearer sense of direction.
Sessions are described as collaborative and respectful. The first meeting is used to get to know each other, set practical goals and agree how to work together. She has experience offering conversations by video, phone and live chat, and those options are part of how she has practised recently.
Her approach is grounded in listening, curiosity and straightforward planning. People who want clear steps and a conversational style may find this approach helpful before deciding on longer term work.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Luisa uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on a person’s perspective. This approach prioritises listening and responding to what matters to the client so they can explore feelings and make decisions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to look at thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT involves practical exercises and experiments that can reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful reactions.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. They will choose or combine techniques together so sessions fit the issue and the person’s day-to-day life.
Luisa has previously offered video calls, phone and live chat in her recent practice, so these are the formats to confirm when arranging sessions. Online sessions make it easier to fit conversations into busy days, avoid travel time and use shorter check-ins when that is more practical. Check the current session options before booking so arrangements can match your routine and needs.
