Luisa Prosser, BACP

Luisa Prosser is a BACP accredited counsellor in the United Kingdom with over 15 years of professional experience. She has supported people through anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, separation and divorce, loss, and addiction. Luisa aims to build a warm, trusting relationship so clients feel heard from the first session.

She works with people across different ages and needs, including those who have received diagnoses such as ADHD or autism. Luisa helps clients understand their strengths, manage challenges that affect study or work, and form a clearer sense of identity. She has also supported people exploring sexuality and gender identity, and those coping with bullying or difficult family situations.

Her background is in psychodynamic counselling, and she uses elements of cognitive behavioural approaches, art therapy and mindfulness where useful. In practice this means talking through patterns from the past, noticing unhelpful thoughts in the moment, and trying small experiments between sessions.

Luisa typically begins by listening to what matters most to the client and then setting simple, achievable goals together. Early meetings focus on getting to know each other, understanding why someone came to therapy, and agreeing on practical steps to move forward. She aims to offer a non-judgemental and respectful space where people can find their voice.

Sessions have emphasised collaboration and sensitivity, with attention to each person’s unique background and values. Over time she supports clients to build confidence, improve communication, and cope better with life changes and stress.

Approaches in online counselling and what they offer

Luisa draws on psychodynamic counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy to guide online work. Psychodynamic counselling looks at recurring patterns and early relationships to understand present behaviour and feelings; it can help when repeating the same relationship struggles or feeling stuck without a clear reason. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps and experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviours.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. She will listen to your concerns, discuss goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as you learn what helps most.

The biography records experience using video calls, telephone and live chat in recent work, but session formats can vary so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time and offer more flexibility around work or family commitments. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that these practical benefits help people stay consistent with their sessions while they work on stress, relationships and personal goals.
