About Luisa

Luisa Prosser is a BACP accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. She offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, depression, grief, sleeping difficulties, anger and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Over the past three years Luisa has worked in private practice and with an online counselling service, meeting people by video call, phone or live chat. Before that she worked with children, teens and adults who had diagnoses such as ADHD and autism or other special educational needs. That work included helping people understand diagnoses, recognise strengths and tackle barriers that affected study and life choices.

Luisa’s original training is in psychodynamic counselling, and she integrates other methods including cognitive behavioural techniques, client-centred ideas, solution-focused work, art therapy and mindfulness tools. In practical terms this means she listens for patterns from the past, notices unhelpful thoughts and uses small experiments or tasks to test new ways of coping.

She describes the first meeting as a chance to get to know one another, clarify why someone is seeking help and set achievable goals. Later sessions are collaborative and geared toward what a person wants to change or understand better. Luisa aims to support people in finding clearer self-identity, handling career and study pressures, and managing emotions that get in the way of daily life.

Her background includes work with people exploring sexuality and gender identity, those affected by separation or divorce, and people coping with addiction or trauma. Throughout her practice she follows the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Luisa draws on psychodynamic counselling and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online sessions. Psychodynamic counselling looks at themes from a person’s past and how they repeat now, helping to understand why certain reactions happen. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes through practical tasks and experiments.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting the balance of reflection and practical exercises over time. The choice is guided by what the person wants to achieve and how they respond in early sessions.

Her profile notes she meets people by video call, phone and live chat, so double-check which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, enable a shorter check-in when needed, and allow for phone-only meetings when being on camera is difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to help people manage anger, stress and everyday pressures without needing to travel.
