Luisa Prosser

Luisa Prosser is a BACP accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with more than 15 years of professional experience working with children, teens and adults. Over the past three years she has supported adults through private practice and online work, addressing a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, work-related stress, relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, loss and addiction.

She typically meets clients via video calls, phone or live chat. Earlier in her career she worked with people diagnosed with ADHD, autism and other special educational needs that can affect self-esteem and confidence. In that work she has helped clients gain a clearer understanding of their diagnoses, recognise strengths and overcome obstacles that affected their studies or future choices.

Luisa has also worked with young people and young adults who are uncertain about their sexuality or gender identity, offering a confidential space to reflect and consider next steps. She has supported young people who have struggled at school because of bullying or feeling misunderstood, and she has worked with individuals from difficult family circumstances who have experienced parental conflict, separation, loss or trauma.

Her training background is in psychodynamic counselling, and over the years she has incorporated elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, art therapy and mindfulness techniques into her practice. Her priority is to build a trustful and safe relationship with both young people and adults, listening for hopes and fears and working collaboratively to set achievable counselling goals.

Luisa aims to provide a space where clients feel listened to and understood, offering sensitivity, empathy and a non-judgemental approach. Even when clients come from different cultural backgrounds or have had different life experiences, she seeks to walk alongside them with honesty, respect and a focus on avoiding harm. These principles are central to her practice and align with the standards of the counselling body that regulates her work.

The first session is an opportunity to get to know one another, explore the reasons for seeking therapy, identify realistic goals and agree how to work together going forward.
