About Luisa

Luisa Prosser is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with more than 15 years of professional experience. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, parenting strain and other life changes. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping clients find clearer perspectives and small steps forward.

She offers a calm, listening space and begins by building trust. Early sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the client and agreeing simple, achievable goals. Luisa uses a blend of talking therapies and techniques chosen to fit each person’s needs.

Her background includes psychodynamic counselling training, with additional work integrating cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused ideas, art therapy and mindfulness techniques. That mix helps when people want to understand deeper patterns and also learn new ways to cope day to day.

Luisa has worked with people who have ADHD, autism and other additional needs, helping them recognise strengths and improve confidence. She also supports people facing grief, separation, identity questions and difficulties at work or school.

The first session is used to get to know one another, explore the reasons for seeking support and set realistic aims for counselling. Subsequent sessions focus on practical steps, reflecting on patterns, and building strategies the client can use between meetings.

How Luisa adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Luisa draws on client-centred therapy to place the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. That means listening closely, reflecting what she hears and shaping the work around the client’s priorities and pace.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments. CBT-style tasks are often straightforward to agree and practise between sessions, which many people find useful when managing stress, anxiety or sleep issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Luisa discusses different ways of working in early sessions and helps clients choose methods that match their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. This is a collaborative process and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

If you are thinking about online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Her biography mentions video calls, phone and live chat as formats she has used. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed, while still focusing on understanding patterns and building practical skills.
