Ariana Luisa

Ariana Luisa is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She offers humanistic, open-ended therapy aimed at helping people make sense of their feelings, memories and relationships. Her work suits those wanting to understand how past and present shape who they are and who they want to become.

Ariana uses an explorative style that invites gentle reflection rather than giving direct advice. Sessions focus on listening, helping people name emotions and notice patterns that affect daily life. She acknowledges that looking inward can feel difficult, and she aims to do that work alongside each person.

Her approach includes psychodynamic ideas about unconscious influences, client-centred attention to the person in front of her, and trauma-focused thinking when past harm is involved. These ways of working support people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, anger and relationship concerns, among other issues.

She provides video and live chat sessions, with messaging available between meetings for short check-ins. Session lengths can be 30 or 45 minutes, and scheduling is arranged to fit both people’s availability.

Ariana has four years' experience and holds the NCPS credential. She practises from the United Kingdom and offers services in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Ariana combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas to guide online sessions. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and aims to provide empathic, non-judgemental listening so people can explore feelings and make choices that fit their lives. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns and past experiences that influence current behaviour and feelings, which can help when relational patterns or repeated reactions cause distress. Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at the effects of past harm and supports gradual, paced work to reduce its ongoing impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ariana will talk with each person about goals, worries and preferences, and will shape sessions to fit those needs. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasise listening, explore deeper patterns, or focus on healing from past trauma.

Her online practice uses video and live chat, with messaging available between sessions for brief check-ins. If you want to know exact session formats or which one might suit your routine, confirm the options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily life, and they allow flexible session lengths such as 30 or 45 minutes to match different schedules.
