About Luisvet
Counsellor Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years' experience. She helps people with parenting, self-esteem, career issues, stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, eating problems, depression and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Luisvet uses a client-centred way of working. That means sessions focus on what the person brings and on listening carefully to their concerns. She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to address unhelpful thinking patterns and on psychodynamic perspectives to look at how past relationships affect current feelings.
She blends practical tools with reflective conversation. That can include simple strategies to manage stress or breathing and mindfulness exercises to reduce immediate distress. At other times she will help someone think about long-standing patterns that repeat in relationships or careers.
Appointments aim to be straightforward and down to earth. People can expect clear discussion about goals and small steps to try between sessions. The counsellor asks about what works for each person and adjusts pace accordingly.
Luisvet's practice notes wider family and life issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family problems, fertility and caregiving stress. She also addresses body image, eating and substance concerns alongside communication problems and separation issues. People interested in starting are invited to follow the site booking steps to match and schedule a first session.
How client-centred and CBT ideas work in online counselling
Luisvet often uses client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy in her work. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and following what the person brings. It helps people who need time to talk things through and to be heard at their own pace. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with anxiety, stress and mood problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She discusses goals and preferences with each person and they choose which ideas to try together. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.
The profile does not specify which session formats are offered online, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit around work and family commitments. Remote meetings can cut out travel, make shorter check-ins possible, and allow work on practical techniques such as breathing, mindfulness and thought records from home or another quiet place.
