Luisa Passalacqua offers a warm, practical approach to therapy rooted in listening and collaboration. She speaks English, French and Italian and brings 12 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, grief and many daily struggles. Luisa uses clear, straightforward ways to help people notice patterns in their relationships and feelings.

She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current ties. She also uses cognitive behavioural tools to work on unhelpful thoughts and actions.

Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on what feels most pressing. That might be trouble sleeping, coping with loss, managing anger, or dealing with addictive behaviours. She also supports people facing career stress, identity and intimacy issues, and parenting concerns.

Her background includes long practice in UK settings with individuals from varied backgrounds. She holds BACP registration, which is listed as the supplied credential. Her work combines practical techniques with time to reflect on personal meaning and values.

Luisa aims to make each session feel straightforward and useful. People can expect clear goals, simple exercises between sessions, and a calm space to talk. She helps clients try different ways of coping and decide what fits their life better.

How her methods work online

Luisa commonly uses attachment-based work and cognitive behavioural therapy in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and reacting, which can help with relationship patterns and feelings of insecurity. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical changes in behaviour to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Luisa will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust plans, so therapy stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules. Video is useful for in-depth conversations, phone can fit a shorter break at work, and messaging or live chat can support quick check-ins or notes between sessions. These options make it easier to keep to regular appointments and to use techniques in the context of real life.
