Louisa Cibrian is a counsellor with five years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable for people who are anxious, struggling with low mood, or dealing with relationship and addiction concerns.

Louisa uses a calm, respectful manner and helps people draw on their own strengths as they work through difficult moments. Her approach treats the person, not just the problem.

Background and approach

She listens without judgement and helps clients increase self-awareness and confidence. When addiction is present she looks at root causes and practical coping strategies rather than blame. For grief and loss she offers space to remember, to talk about guilt, and to find steadier footing.

Louisa believes early life experiences can shape how people are now, and she helps clients explore those links at a pace that feels right. She describes herself as integrative and draws on attachment-based, client-centred, psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas as useful tools. That means conversations can range from exploring past patterns to learning new ways of relating and managing emotions.

Sessions may focus on building resilience, managing anxiety, improving self-esteem or navigating big life changes like fertility, adoption or bereavement. She also supports people facing issues such as sleep or eating difficulties, parenting strains, career stress and intimacy-related concerns. Louisa works in English and accepts international clients.

She offers several session formats to fit different needs, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and ways of relating. Online sessions can gently explore those patterns so people can understand why they react a certain way and try different choices in relationships.

Client-centred practice focuses on listening and following the person's lead. In remote sessions the counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection so people feel heard while they make sense of their priorities and decide what changes to try.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The counsellor will work with the person to decide which ideas and methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Online formats offer practical benefits for those juggling work, family or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit check-ins, brief reflections or when writing helps to clarify thoughts. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and fit therapy into a busy life.
