About

About Ariana

Ariana Luisa is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She offers humanistic, exploratory work aimed at helping adults understand their feelings, memories and relationships. Sessions focus on helping people make sense of who they are now and who they want to become.

Ariana uses open-ended, explorative therapy to support self-discovery rather than giving direct advice. She listens with empathy and encourages clients to take charge of their own decisions.

Background and approach

Therapy can bring up uncomfortable feelings at times, and she prepares people for that as part of the process. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, career worries and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas she works with include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, divorce and domestic violence, and fatherhood matters. Ariana draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas alongside client-centred and existential approaches. That mix helps uncover patterns shaped by past experience and current meaning, and supports coping with life changes and trauma when it is relevant.

She combines reflective listening with thoughtful questioning to help people notice patterns and try different ways of relating. She provides sessions from the United Kingdom in English. Session lengths can vary, and she offers shorter appointments when that suits someone’s needs.

The first step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to availability.

Online support

How Ariana's approaches work online

Ariana blends client-centred work with psychodynamic and trauma-focused perspectives to shape online sessions. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and mirrors back what someone says to help them find their own answers; this suits people seeking support with self-esteem, life decisions and relationship concerns. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns formed by past experience and relationships to explain current feelings and behaviour, which can help with repeating relationship problems or long-standing emotional patterns. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on helping people process and cope with difficult memories and strong reactions, and it is used when past events continue to affect daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Ariana will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then she will adapt sessions so they match the person's needs. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Please confirm available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Video and live chat are provided, with messaging available between sessions; telephone or audio-only sessions are not offered. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can focus on the conversation and practical next steps.
