About Ariana

Ariana Luisa is a counsellor who uses humanistic and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand themselves. She holds an NCPS credential from the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and offers therapy over video and live chat. Sessions are short or standard length depending on what the person needs.

Ariana focuses on open-ended, explorative work. She helps people notice patterns in their feelings, memories and relationships. That can include issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, eating and body image concerns, and questions about identity and intimacy.

Her way of working is conversational and reflective. She listens carefully and asks questions that help people name difficult feelings. The aim is to make sense of how past experiences shape present choices, rather than being given direct advice.

Many people come for help with relationship problems, communication, attachment worries, abandonment and codependency. Ariana also supports those dealing with career stress, parenting strains, compassion fatigue and trauma-related concerns. She will gently guide exploration of these topics at a pace that suits the individual.

Sessions can include short check-ins or longer exploratory conversations. Messaging between sessions is available when needed. People are asked to select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Ariana draws on client-centred work to create a listening space where the person leads the conversation. This approach focuses on the person's experience and helps them clarify values, identity and emotional needs.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships and memories influence current patterns. That can help with issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment worries and repeating relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Ariana will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they set the pace and focus for sessions, adjusting as understanding grows.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around work and caring commitments and avoiding travel time. Video allows face-to-face conversation, while live chat can suit people who prefer writing or need a quieter way to communicate. Confirm the exact session options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and needs.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
