About Ariana
Ariana Luisa offers humanistic, exploratory counselling that centres the client's experience. She uses open-ended conversation to help people notice feelings, memories and patterns that shape their lives. Ariana holds an Accreditation Diploma in Counselling from the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, and works with adults from the United Kingdom.
Her style focuses on discovering how past experiences and unconscious material influence current choices. Sessions aim to help people understand themselves more clearly and decide what they want going forward. Ariana listens without judgement and encourages people to lead the pace and direction of their work.
She commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, as well as issues around identity and LGBT concerns. She also works with eating and intimacy-related issues, relationship and family problems, parenting and fatherhood questions, career dilemmas, and compassion fatigue.
Her approach draws on client-centred, existential and psychodynamic ideas alongside trauma-focused perspectives when relevant. This mix is used to explore emotions, uncover repetitive patterns, and make meaning from difficult experiences. Ariana offers both 30 and 45 minute sessions depending on individual needs.
Sessions are available by video and live chat, with messaging offered between sessions if wanted. Prospective clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How Ariana's approaches translate to online therapy
Ariana works from a humanistic, client-centred base that prioritises the person's own experience. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people lead the session so they can better understand their feelings and choices. This approach is useful for stress, low mood and exploring self-esteem issues.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and the influence of past relationships on current behaviour. Psychodynamic work can help with attachment issues, intimacy concerns and understanding why certain reactions keep happening. Trauma-focused therapy is used when difficult or painful events need careful attention, aiming to stabilise symptoms and gradually process distressing memories.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, needs and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit the person. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Please confirm session options before booking, since available formats are listed in the therapist profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also accommodate different communication preferences such as typed chat or video conversations depending on what suits the person best.
