Ariana Luisa, NCPS

Ariana Luisa is a professionally accredited counsellor, accredited by the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and holding a Diploma in Counselling. She practices humanistic therapy with individual adults, offering sessions over video and live chat. Ariana focuses on open-ended, explorative work that helps clients examine feelings, memories, unconscious patterns, and relationships to understand how those elements shape current identity and future goals.

Her approach is aimed at facilitating self-discovery rather than giving direct advice. Ariana listens with empathy and curiosity, creating an accepting, non-judgmental space where difficult or challenging emotions can be explored. She supports clients who want to better understand themselves, process grief, work through trauma and abuse, address relationship and intimacy issues, or cope with life changes such as parenting, career transitions, and loss.

Ariana offers flexible session lengths of 30 or 45 minutes and notes that weekly appointment times may vary due to a changing schedule. Messaging is available between sessions when needed. She holds a basic DBS check, is registered with the ICO, and does not provide an emergency service - in a mental health emergency she advises contacting NHS 111 (option 2) or dialing 999.

While self-exploration can be demanding, Ariana emphasizes that clients do not have to undertake it alone and that therapy can be a steady companion in the process of personal growth.

Approaches for online growth and healing

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, empathic relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead. It helps people who want a supportive space to explore feelings, build self-understanding, and gain confidence in making life choices.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences, unconscious patterns, and relational dynamics influence present behavior. It can be useful for those wanting to better understand recurring relationship issues, attachment patterns, or emotional responses rooted in earlier life events.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers focused strategies to address the impact of traumatic or abusive experiences and to support recovery at a pace that feels manageable. It is aimed at reducing the long-term emotional and relational effects of trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ariana works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may adapt techniques as the work unfolds.

Online therapy with Ariana makes ongoing support more flexible. Clients can meet by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which helps accommodate busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, accessible care and make it easier to continue progress between sessions.
