Ariana Luisa, NCPS

Ariana Luisa is a counsellor practising humanistic approaches to help people untangle difficult feelings and life patterns. She holds an NCPS credential from the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and works with adults to explore emotions, memories and relationships. Her style is open and exploratory, aimed at helping clients understand who they are and who they want to become.

She offers a listening space that is non-judgemental and accepting. Sessions are available by video and live chat, with messaging offered between appointments for extra support. She provides 30 or 45 minute appointments depending on what suits the client.

Ariana focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain, trauma and intimacy-related issues, including sexual dysfunction and related emotional impacts. She also supports people dealing with eating difficulties, career pressures, parenting worries and compassion fatigue.

Her therapeutic toolkit draws on client-centred, existential, psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas. That means sessions often centre on the client’s experience, life choices and patterns from the past that shape present behaviour. Conversations look at feelings, memories and unconscious material to increase self-understanding.

She has four years of counselling experience and is registered with NCPS. Sessions are offered in English and she works with adults in the United Kingdom. Ariana asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits both of you.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

A client-centred approach puts your experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to you, helping you name feelings and decide what to explore next. This approach suits people wanting a supportive space to think things through.

Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape present behaviour. In online sessions this can help uncover repeated relationship patterns, attachment issues or roots of anxiety and grief by reflecting on memories and current responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ariana will discuss goals and preferences and will suggest ways of working that fit your needs. Decisions about pace, topics and exercises are made collaboratively so the process feels manageable.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Video allows face-to-face contact while live chat can suit shorter check-ins or days when typing feels easier. The therapist offers 30 or 45 minute appointments and messaging between sessions, but please confirm the exact session options before booking so you know what will work best for your routine.
