About Luisa
Counsellor Luisa Prosser is a BACP member with 15 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She supports people with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and parenting concerns, grief, addiction and other life changes. Sessions have focused on building understanding and practical ways to cope with problems that affect day-to-day life.
Luisa has worked across private practice and online services for several years. She has experience supporting people with ADHD, autism and other special educational needs where confidence or identity have been affected. She has also supported those facing separation, loss, school difficulties and questions about sexuality or gender identity.
Her training is rooted in psychodynamic counselling, and she also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused ideas. In practice this means she listens for patterns from the past and looks for small changes that can make a difference now. Sessions can include talking, practical strategies and reflective work to help clarify values and goals.
She aims to build a trusting working relationship and to be direct and honest about what can be achieved. The first session is used to agree goals and how to work together. Luisa asks people to consider what would feel most helpful and realistic in short sessions and longer plans.
Luisa often works with people to strengthen self-esteem, manage anger, improve sleep and cope with career or parenting pressures. She also offers support for people dealing with compassion fatigue, bipolar mood challenges, codependency and substance issues. Her practice is informed by fifteen years of hands-on experience and by the ethical framework of the BACP.
How her approaches work for online counselling
Luisa uses psychodynamic counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy as central parts of her work. Psychodynamic counselling focuses on how past experiences and relationships influence current feelings and patterns. It helps when someone wants to understand recurring difficulties or emotional reactions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to reduce distress and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Luisa will discuss goals, preferences and how you respond to different ways of working. Together you will decide whether to focus on understanding longer-term patterns, learning coping strategies, or mixing methods to suit what you need now.
Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific ongoing options on this site. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or study. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when full sessions are not needed, or for audio-only contact when video would be difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective work and practical CBT tasks to an online setting so the work can continue even when meeting remotely.
