About Ariana

Counsellor Ariana Luisa is registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has four years' experience working with adults. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns, and lists a broader range of issues including trauma and eating related problems. Sessions are offered in English in the United Kingdom.

Ariana uses humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to help people talk through feelings and memories. She offers open-ended, explorative counselling that looks at how past experiences and current relationships shape who someone is and how they behave. The work often focuses on understanding recurring patterns rather than quick fixes.

Sessions are usually conversational and driven by what the client brings. Ariana describes her role as listening without giving direct advice, and helping clients consider choices for themselves. People can expect discussion of difficult emotions and memories as part of the process.

She offers video and live chat sessions, with messaging available between meetings if needed. Session lengths include 30 and 45 minutes and the service operates via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted.

Practical matters are handled at the start. Clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. Charges vary with location and the therapist asks people to check the platform options when booking.

How her approaches fit with online counselling

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person to find their own answers. It works by reflecting what the client says and helping them notice feelings and choices. This approach can help with relationship issues, stress and problems with self‑esteem.

Psychodynamic ideas look at how past experiences and unconscious patterns affect current behaviour. Sessions often explore memories, relationships and recurring themes to understand why problems keep coming up. This work is commonly used for issues such as trauma, attachment concerns and long‑standing emotional patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then agree a way of working. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The biography lists video and live chat as session formats and also notes messaging between sessions. If you need confirmation of current session options, check before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time and allow for shorter 30 minute or longer 45 minute appointments depending on need. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to keep regular contact and follow up between sessions.
