Ariana Luisa, NCPS

Ariana Luisa is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She offers a humanistic, exploration-based approach that helps people reflect on feelings, memories and relationships. Her style is calm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping individuals understand how past and present experiences shape who they are now.

Ariana uses open-ended talking therapy to help people make sense of difficult emotions. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, exploring unconscious material, and clarifying personal values. This approach can be useful for those dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, or issues around identity and intimacy.

She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships influence current behaviour. Existential perspectives help people consider meaning, choice and responsibility in their lives. The client-centred stance means the client sets the pace and direction of each session while the counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection.

Practical details are discussed at the start of working together. Ariana offers video and live chat sessions, and messaging between sessions if needed. Sessions are available in 30 or 45 minute lengths to suit different needs.

She works from the United Kingdom and provides services in English. Her practice is informed by four years of counselling experience and the aim is to support clients as they explore change, build self-understanding, and move toward clearer goals.

How Ariana's approaches guide online work

Ariana uses a client-centred way of working that focuses on listening and responding to what the client brings. This approach supports people who need a calm, accepting space to talk about stress, identity or relationship concerns.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions and patterns. That helps when recurring problems, attachment issues or longstanding habits are getting in the way. Existential ideas are used to help people consider meaning, choice and responsibility when facing life changes or feelings of emptiness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ariana will collaborate with each person to decide which elements to use, based on their goals and preferences. She encourages discussion about what feels helpful and adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange shorter 30 minute check-ins or longer 45 minute conversations depending on what is needed. Specific session formats should be confirmed before booking, as options and scheduling depend on the therapist's current arrangements.
