Ariana Luisa , NCPS

Ariana Luisa is a qualified counsellor who holds NCPS accreditation and works from a humanistic perspective to support adults exploring personal challenges. She offers open-ended, explorative therapy that invites clients to examine feelings, memories, unconscious influences, and relationships to better understand how these elements shape who they are and who they hope to become.

Her approach focuses on facilitating self-discovery rather than giving direct advice. Ariana listens with empathy and curiosity, helping clients make sense of difficult emotions and life events while remaining guided by each person’s own values and choices. She emphasizes a non-judgmental, accepting environment where difficult or uncomfortable feelings can be faced as part of the therapeutic process.

Ariana provides sessions by video and live chat and makes messaging available for between-session support when needed. She offers session lengths of 30 or 45 minutes to accommodate different needs, and aims to respond to messages in a timely way while noting she does not provide an emergency service. She also holds a basic DBS check and is registered with the ICO, reflecting her professional administrative checks and registrations.

Exploration of the self can be challenging, and Ariana acknowledges it is not always simple, but she aims to accompany clients through that work with steady, compassionate support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ariana integrates client-centered work with psychodynamic ideas and trauma-focused techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, helping people feel heard and supported as they explore what matters to them and work through life changes. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from past experiences and unconscious influences to uncover how relationships and early memories shape current feelings and behaviors. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on understanding and processing the impacts of traumatic events, using careful, paced strategies to reduce distress and improve coping.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Ariana works collaboratively with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring, adjusting methods over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support between sessions, and choose the format that best supports the work ahead.
