Luisa Prosser , BACP

Luisa Prosser is a BACP accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with over 15 years of professional experience supporting children, teenagers and adults. She has spent the past three years working in private practice and with online services, providing therapy for adults presenting with anxiety, depression, stress including work-related stress, relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, loss and addiction. She typically meets clients via video calls, phone sessions or the live chat medium.

Earlier in her career Luisa worked with people diagnosed with ADHD, autism and other special educational needs, helping them to understand their diagnoses, recognise personal strengths and address barriers that affected study and future choices. She has supported young people and young adults exploring gender identity or sexuality who wanted a personal space to reflect and plan next steps. Luisa has also worked with those who struggled at school because of bullying or feeling misunderstood, and with people from difficult family backgrounds who have experienced parental conflict, separation, bereavement or trauma. Across these areas she aims to help clients find a stronger sense of identity and a clearer, more confident voice in their lives.

Luisa trained in psychodynamic counselling and over time has integrated cognitive behavioral techniques, art therapy ideas and mindfulness practices into her work. Her approach begins with building a trusting therapeutic relationship, listening carefully for hopes and fears, and collaborating with clients to set achievable goals. She offers a sensitive, empathic and non-judgemental space where each person is treated with honesty, respect and individuality, working in accordance with the standards of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP is the professional body that accredits and sets ethical guidance for counsellors in the UK. The first session is used to get to know one another, explore reasons for seeking therapy, agree initial goals and decide how to work together going forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Luisa Prosser

Luisa integrates psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered principles into her practice. Psychodynamic therapy explores patterns from past relationships and emotional history to better understand current feelings and behaviours, which can be helpful for issues linked to attachment, family dynamics and long-standing emotional patterns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions, offering practical strategies to manage symptoms such as anxiety, low mood and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasises an empathic, non-judgemental relationship where the client’s own goals and perspectives guide the work, supporting self-esteem, identity development and personal agency.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Luisa works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy sessions - via video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, choose formats that feel comfortable and access therapy from different locations, while continuing to work with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor the approach to each individual.
