Luisa Prosser , BACP

Luisa Prosser is a BACP-accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with more than 15 years of professional experience working with children, teenagers and adults. BACP refers to the counselling body that regulates her work in the UK and reflects her adherence to professional standards.

She has spent the past three years working in private practice and supporting adults through online services, providing help for a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, work-related strain, relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, loss and addiction. She generally meets with clients by video call, phone or live chat.

Earlier in her career she worked with people diagnosed with ADHD, autism and other special educational needs, focusing on how these diagnoses affect self-esteem, confidence and future choices. She has supported young people and young adults exploring sexuality and gender identity who wanted a private space to reflect, and has worked with those who struggle at school because of bullying or feeling misunderstood. She has also supported individuals and families affected by parental conflict, separation, loss or trauma, and aims to help each person find a stronger, more confident voice.

Her training is grounded in psychodynamic counselling, and over time she has incorporated cognitive behavioural techniques, art therapy elements and mindfulness practices. Luisa places emphasis on building a trustful therapeutic relationship, listening for hopes and fears and working collaboratively to set achievable goals. She aims to provide a sensitive, empathic and non-judgemental space where clients are treated with honesty and respect, guided by the standards of BACP. The first session offers an opportunity for Luisa and a client to get to know one another, explore reasons for seeking support, identify clear therapeutic goals and agree how to work together.

Psychodynamic, CBT and Client-Centred Support Available Online

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, relationships and unconscious patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. It can help people gain insight into long-standing emotional difficulties and relationship patterns by reflecting on history and recurring themes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, offers practical tools to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used to address anxiety, low mood and stress by teaching coping strategies and step-by-step techniques to manage day-to-day challenges.

Client-centred therapy emphasises a non-judgemental, empathetic environment where the person’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem and the development of personal agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Luisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to tailor support for an individual.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, manage practical barriers and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. These options can help maintain continuity of care across life changes and locations.
