About Louisa

Louisa Cibrian is a counsellor with five years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression or relationship problems. Louisa also supports those facing loss, addiction, low self-esteem and codependency, and she welcomes people who want to rebuild confidence after a breakup.

She believes clients are the experts in their own stories and focuses on helping them notice their strengths. Sessions are offered with a non-judgemental, practical approach that looks at root causes and everyday coping skills. Louisa emphasises steady progress at a pace that feels manageable.

Louisa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships can shape current patterns. She uses client-centred methods to keep conversations focused on each person’s experience. Psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches are used when exploring deeper patterns and painful memories.

In practice she offers a calm space where feelings can be talked about openly. She is comfortable discussing grief, intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, ADHD and a range of other life stresses. Practical tools and reflection are balanced so people can both understand and change unhelpful patterns.

To begin, Louisa asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to her availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

How these approaches help online

Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. In online sessions this can help people notice patterns in friendships, parenting or romantic life and try new ways of relating.

Client-centred counselling focuses on warm, attentive listening and supporting a person’s own insights. Online meetings can provide a steady space to talk things through and build confidence at a manageable pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match what a person needs right now.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, childcare and travel. It can be simpler to check in on a busy day, have a shorter phone conversation if bandwidth is limited, or choose a longer video session when more time is needed for reflection.
