About Luisvet
Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people who bring worries about parenting, self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD and eating concerns, among other issues. She speaks English and Spanish.
In sessions she keeps conversation straightforward and focused. She helps people talk through specific problems and notice patterns that keep them stuck. Practical tools from cognitive behavioural approaches are offered alongside time to reflect on feelings and personal history.
Luisvet uses client-centred ways of working so the person in front of her directs the pace and topics. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current reactions, and on mindfulness to build awareness of thoughts and bodily responses.
People can expect a mix of short-term strategies and deeper reflection. She often combines solution-focused steps with exploration of attachment or abandonment issues when these are relevant. Topics such as body image, family of origin issues, communication problems and caregiver stress are commonly discussed.
Her style is practical and conversational. She will suggest exercises to try between sessions and review how they went. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the site.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and lets the client set the pace and topics; it helps when someone needs time to be heard and to organise difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviours and practical steps to test out new habits and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns; it is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Existential Therapy invites reflection on values, meaning and life choices, which can help when someone feels stuck or empty.Choosing an approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and try different methods to see what fits. Sessions can blend short-term strategies with deeper exploration depending on what the client wants to work on.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments and family life. They also allow quicker check-ins or phone-style conversations when a shorter contact is useful, and can remove travel time so sessions are easier to keep.
