Luisa Prosser, BACP

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. She offers online support by video call, phone and live chat, and has spent the past three years working in private practice and for online services supporting adults with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, work-related pressure, relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, loss and addiction. Luisa also has substantial experience with neurodiverse clients, including those diagnosed with ADHD and autism, and with others who have special educational needs that affect self-esteem and confidence. She helps people understand their diagnosis, recognise strengths, and overcome barriers that affect study, career decisions and personal identity.

Luisa has worked with young people and young adults exploring questions of sexuality and gender identity, and with those struggling in school because of bullying or a sense of being misunderstood. She has supported clients from challenging family backgrounds who have experienced parental conflict, separation, loss or trauma, and she aims to help each person find a stronger sense of self and a clearer voice in the world. Her training is rooted in psychodynamic counselling - an approach that explores patterns and early influences - and over the years she has incorporated cognitive behavioural techniques, art therapy elements and mindfulness practices into her work. Luisa focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship, listening for hopes and fears, and collaborating with clients to set realistic goals. The first session is used to get to know one another, explore why therapy is being sought and agree how to work together towards those goals. BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body that accredits her practice.
