About Luisvet
Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a counsellor who helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression, parenting challenges, self‑esteem and trauma and abuse. She speaks English and Spanish and works with individuals to talk through painful experiences and find clearer ways forward. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood.
Luisvet draws on a mix of practical talking therapies. She uses client‑centred listening to follow what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
She also applies cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Sessions focus on everyday steps clients can use between meetings. That might include short experiments, changes to routines, or ways to notice and challenge negative thoughts.
She encourages small, manageable goals so progress feels steady rather than overwhelming. Her background includes three years of experience working in counselling roles and she is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Luisvet blends that experience with psychodynamic and mindfulness ideas when they help make sense of feelings and patterns.
People who come to her often want support with family problems, relationship tensions, body image and eating issues, addiction concerns, or feelings of emptiness and abandonment. She aims to help clients build coping skills and find clearer choices in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Client‑centred therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves listening without judgement and following the client’s priorities to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs space to make sense of strong emotions or life changes.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It uses short practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress. CBT can be useful for tackling specific problems like negative thinking or unhelpful routines.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about what feels most useful and try different ways of working when needed. This is a collaborative process that adapts to the person’s goals and pace.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging makes it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. Video lets people keep a visual connection, phone calls require less bandwidth, live chat can be a short check‑in, and text messaging is useful for ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give practical flexibility so people can choose what suits their routines and comfort.
