About Luisvet

Luisvet Barragans Villarroel helps people with parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, stress, anxiety, family issues, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, depression and ADHD. She works in a client-centred way and uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Luisvet is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she has three years' experience working with adults in the United Kingdom.

Her style is conversational and focused on practical change. Sessions typically involve listening, reflecting and noticing how thoughts and patterns affect daily life. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking and behaviour, and on mindfulness techniques to build moment-to-moment awareness.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to consider how past relationships shape current patterns, and existential questions to help people clarify values and purpose. Solution-focused ideas are brought in where short-term planning and concrete steps are helpful. The mix of methods aims to address emotional pain and practical problems together.

Luisvet offers therapy in English and Spanish. She works with individuals on issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, addiction, body image and fertility concerns. She also supports people dealing with family of origin issues, feelings of emptiness, and forgiveness work.

To begin, clients complete an online matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. International clients are not currently accepted.

Approaches used in online sessions

She commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own direction; this is useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship patterns and general emotional distress. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviour cycles and to practise concrete strategies for anxiety, stress and mood difficulties. Existential ideas may be used to examine values and life choices when people feel stuck or unsure about meaning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and will try different methods to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps shape session focus and pacing.

Practical benefits of online counselling include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Please confirm the exact session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Many people find online sessions useful for short practical check-ins, regular weekly work, or when they prefer to be in their own everyday surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques like CBT exercises or mindfulness practices for remote sessions.
