About Ariana

Ariana Luisa is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has four years' experience. She works with adults in the United Kingdom and offers sessions by video and live chat. Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, anger, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns among other issues.

Ariana uses a humanistic, open-ended style that invites people to talk through their feelings and memories. She focuses on how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current behaviour. Sessions aim to help clients notice those patterns and consider different ways of relating to themselves and others.

She describes counselling as a talking process where the client leads the pace. Ariana does not give advice or tell clients what to do. Instead she listens and reflects so people can make their own decisions about next steps in life.

Ariana also works with trauma-related issues and uses psychodynamic ideas to look at deep-seated patterns. She draws on existential questions about meaning and direction when people are coping with big life changes or feelings of emptiness.

Practical details are straightforward. Sessions are offered by video and live chat, and messaging between sessions is available for additional support. Session lengths of 30 or 45 minutes are offered and the subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. International clients are not accepted at this time and sessions are conducted in English.

How sessions work

Approach-focused online counselling and practical access

Ariana uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client's perspective, offering listening and reflection so people can make their own choices about change. This approach is useful for work on self-esteem, life decisions and day-to-day coping.

She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at unconscious patterns and recurring relationship issues. This can help when anger or repeated conflicts seem to come from old memories or habits rather than the current situation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ariana will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt sessions according to the client's needs, goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may shift as the work develops.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy week and options that avoid travel time. Ariana offers video and live chat sessions, with messaging available between appointments; telephone or audio-only sessions are not offered. If you need clarity about formats, confirm the current session options before booking so you can choose what fits your daily routine best.
