About Louisa
Louisa Cibrian is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, depression, parenting and family concerns, and other life challenges. Louisa offers flexible appointment times to fit busy schedules and accepts international clients.
She focuses on helping people strengthen their sense of self after difficult relationships and on rebuilding confidence and self-esteem. When addictions are part of the picture she looks at underlying causes alongside coping strategies. Louisa also supports people dealing with loss, helping them talk through feelings and manage guilt.
Louisa sees how childhood experiences can shape adult patterns. She uses an integrative approach and draws on client-centred work to place the person's perspective at the centre of sessions. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at past influences, and trauma-focused ways of working are used where traumatic experiences are relevant.
In practical terms she works at each person’s pace and focuses on building awareness and resilience. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, identifying patterns, and trying out different coping ideas between meetings. She encourages clear, achievable steps so people can test changes in everyday life.
Her style is straightforward and focused on what people want to change. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session to get started.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online counselling and how they help
Louisa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence current patterns of relating. This can help when difficulties repeat across different relationships and when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways.She also uses client-centred work which puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the client, and helping people arrive at their own solutions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Louisa will work collaboratively to agree which ways of working suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying different perspectives and adjusting as understanding grows.
If you are thinking about online sessions, check the current session options before booking since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow a shorter check-in during a workday, or let someone choose a quieter spot without needing to leave home. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to work well over distance, focusing on clear goals, practical steps and regular review so sessions stay relevant to everyday challenges.
