Ariana Luisa

Ariana Luisa is a counsellor who uses humanistic, explorative therapy to help people make sense of their feelings and relationships. She holds an Accreditation Diploma in Counselling with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, and works with adults on matters such as grief, stress, anxiety and self-esteem.

She offers a space to talk through memories, unconscious patterns and current struggles. Sessions are described as non-judgemental and accepting, with an emphasis on the client leading the pace and direction of the work. Ariana does not give direct advice but listens and reflects to help people find their own answers.

Her approach is open-ended and suited to people who want to explore identity, relationships and life changes over time. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present behaviour. She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep the focus on the person’s immediate needs.

Ariana works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image issues, compassion fatigue and career worries. She also lists additional focuses such as abandonment, attachment issues and ageing concerns to support people facing longer-term transitions.

Therapy is offered in English from the United Kingdom. Session lengths are available in two options and she uses video and live chat for sessions, with messaging available between meetings for ongoing support.

How Ariana’s approaches work online

A client-centred way of working puts the person’s experience at the heart of the sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client’s priorities to build understanding and emotional awareness. This helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship stress and coping with change.

Psychodynamic ideas focus on how past relationships and memories shape current feelings and behaviour. Online work using this approach can help people notice repeating patterns, make sense of difficult emotions and consider new ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ariana will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. Together they will test different ways of working and adjust the focus as things change over time.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and maintaining continuity when meeting in person is difficult. The counsellor offers video and live chat sessions, with messaging available between meetings, so clients can choose what suits their day-to-day life. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they match your needs and routine.
