About Luisa

Luisa Prosser is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She introduces herself calmly and clearly, aiming to make it easier for people to reach out when life feels overwhelming. Luisa focuses on building a trusting relationship first and then works with clients to set practical goals for change.

She has supported adults across a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, separation and addiction. Her background includes work with people who have ADHD, autism and other special educational needs, helping them to recognise strengths and to make clearer choices about education and the future. Luisa also offers a space for people questioning their sexuality or gender to reflect and plan next steps.

Her training began in psychodynamic counselling and she now blends this with cognitive behavioural techniques, client-centred ways of working and solution-focused ideas. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s situation, with an emphasis on listening and finding small, achievable steps forward. Luisa uses mindfulness and creative approaches when they suit the client.

She describes the first session as a chance to get to know one another, clarify why someone is seeking help and agree realistic goals. Over time she helps clients find clearer self-expression and greater confidence in decision-making.

Luisa aims to be non-judgemental and respectful, supporting people to feel heard while they work through difficult feelings and life changes.

How Luisa’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred work focuses on listening closely and following what matters to the person. It helps people feel understood and find their own answers when they are unsure about identity, relationships or life direction.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours. It can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and stress by breaking problems into smaller, workable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice may change over time as work progresses and priorities shift.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around work, study and family life. Video or phone meetings can make it easier to attend from different locations and can reduce travel time. If you prefer a shorter check-in or a text-based conversation, confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. The therapist will help plan sessions to match what fits into a client’s everyday routine and commitments.
