About Ariana
Ariana Luisa is a counsellor who works from a humanistic perspective and focuses on helping adults make sense of their feelings and relationships. She holds an Accreditation Diploma in Counselling with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS, and brings four years of practice to her work. Ariana offers sessions by video and live chat, with messaging available between sessions for additional support.
Her approach is open-ended and exploratory. She helps people look at memories, unconscious patterns, and relational dynamics to understand how these shape current behaviour and choices. Sessions aim to help clients clarify what they want from life and who they want to become.
Ariana describes counselling as a collaborative conversation rather than advice giving. She listens with empathy and encourages clients to lead the pace and topics of exploration. Expect gentle challenge alongside practical reflection when difficult feelings arise.
She has worked with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma. Additional focus areas include body image, codependency, abandonment, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Ariana also supports people facing career strain, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting-related stress.
Sessions are offered as either 30 or 45 minutes depending on need. She notes that weekly appointment times may vary due to her schedule and asks clients to discuss suitable days and times when booking. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Ariana combines client-centred and psychodynamic ideas to create a reflective online counselling space. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping clients set the agenda so they can explore what matters most. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence present feelings and relationships to help uncover repeated themes.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Ariana collaborates with each person to identify which ideas and ways of working feel most helpful. Together they review goals, try different ways of talking, and adjust the focus as understanding grows.
Her practice offers video and live chat sessions, with messaging available for between-session support. If you are unsure which session length or format will fit your life, check the available options when booking and discuss preferences with her. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around busy days, allow for shorter check-ins, and let people take part from wherever they are able to join, while still keeping the focus on the therapeutic conversation.
