About Luisvet
Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a counsellor who helps people facing common and painful problems. She supports issues such as parenting strain, low self-esteem, career worries, stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are based in the United Kingdom.
Luisvet uses a client-centred style that focuses on each person's experience. She aims to listen without judgement and to help people make sense of their thoughts and feelings. In practice this means giving space to tell your story and noticing what matters most to you.
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on Mindfulness to build simple skills for managing stress. Psychodynamic and Existential ideas inform conversations about past relationships, meaning and identity when those matters are relevant.
With three years of experience and a BACP credential, Luisvet combines practical tools with a warm, reflective approach. She works with people on specific problems like body image, substance use, relationship communication, fertility stress, abandonment concerns and blended family issues as they come up in sessions.
People can expect a calm, steady style that encourages honest talk and small, manageable changes. The first step is often a short matching questionnaire and a scheduled session to see how the counsellor and client fit together.
How these approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following what matters to the person. Online sessions can still offer that space for open talk, reflection and emotional support. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses simple exercises to change them; these exercises can be set and reviewed between sessions in a digital format. Existential Therapy helps people discuss meaning, choices and identity, which can be explored through conversation and reflective tasks during remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and how you prefer to work, and then jointly decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Practically, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow flexible scheduling around work or childcare. It also lets people use quieter surroundings, have shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices to suit an online rhythm.
