About Luisvet
Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, eating concerns, ADHD and career pressures. She works in English and Spanish and sees people in the United Kingdom.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. Sessions focus on listening first and then finding practical steps people can try between meetings. She aims to help clients build coping skills, understand patterns in their relationships, and feel steadier in day-to-day life.
Luisvet uses a mix of talking approaches. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to make space for people to be heard. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes. She also brings psychodynamic and existential ideas when exploring deeper patterns and meaning.
People can expect a collaborative process that balances emotional support with action. Conversations may look at family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, body image, communication problems, or the impact of separation and blended family dynamics. Practical coping for caregiver stress, substance concerns, fertility struggles and forgiveness work is also offered.
She holds BACP, which is mentioned as her credential. Luisvet has three years of experience in counselling work and aims to be approachable for people taking the first step towards change.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor offers empathetic listening and follows the person's pace to help them name feelings and priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behaviour and trying practical changes, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and mood concerns. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and values, helping people who feel stuck or empty to clarify what matters to them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about aims and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted as things progress.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing quicker scheduling around work or caregiving. It also lets people use different therapeutic tools between meetings, such as worksheets or short behavioural experiments suggested during sessions.
