About Louisa
Counsellor Louisa Cibrian is a BACP member with five years of professional experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief and depression, among other concerns. Sessions are aimed at helping clients understand what they want to change and build practical ways to manage day-to-day problems.
Louisa uses a mix of person-centred and psychodynamic ideas alongside trauma-focused work. She helps people look at how early experiences affect current patterns. Conversations often cover feelings, behaviours and the practical steps someone can try between sessions.
She describes her approach as flexible and paced to the individual. That can mean gentle reflection about past experiences, or practical discussion of coping strategies for sleep, eating or anger. Louisa also works with addiction issues by looking at root causes and current coping mechanisms.
Louisa regularly supports people dealing with parenting strain, adoption and foster care questions, and issues linked to relationships such as infidelity or commitment concerns. She also lists work around career strain, ADHD, grief after loss and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Louisa accepts international clients. The profile notes that she can be flexible with appointment times and may offer same-day slots on request.

How her approaches inform online counselling
Louisa works with attachment-based ideas, which look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That can help when someone finds themselves repeating relationship difficulties or struggling with trust and closeness.She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and reflecting back what the person says. This approach supports people who want to be heard and to make sense of their feelings before taking action.
Finding the right fit is part of the work. Louisa will discuss the approaches she uses and decide together with the client which style suits their needs and goals. That conversation continues as therapy progresses and can be adjusted if something isn’t working.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or other commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals often find online work helps people continue therapy when life is busy.
