About Ariana
Ariana Luisa uses a humanistic, client-centred approach to help people make sense of their feelings and relationships. She is registered with NCPS, holds an accreditation diploma in counselling, and offers sessions to adults in the United Kingdom. Her style aims to be warm and non-judgemental so clients can speak openly about what matters to them.
She works in an explorative, open-ended way that looks at current feelings, past memories and the unconscious patterns that shape behaviour.
How Ariana works
This can help with stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and depression as well as relationship and intimacy-related issues. Ariana also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse or compassion fatigue. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including eating and body-image issues, abandonment and attachment worries, communication problems, divorce and separation, and challenges linked to parenting or fatherhood.
Career pressures, anger, and coping with major life changes are also within her focus areas. Additional topics she addresses include codependency, commitment concerns and ageing issues. Sessions are offered online by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging through a subscription model.
Costs vary with location and therapist availability and the subscription can be cancelled at any time. Ariana has around four years of professional experience working with adults. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
All sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Ariana uses client-centred work that puts the person and their experience at the centre of each session. This approach means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears and follows the client's pace to help clarify feelings and choices. It is useful for people coping with stress, confusion about life direction, or struggles with self-esteem.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeating patterns that come from past relationships or early memories. This can help people understand why they respond the way they do now and to make different choices. Trauma-focused therapy is used where painful events need careful, focused attention to reduce their ongoing impact and to support safer ways of coping.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. Ariana will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That process can change over time as someone makes progress or faces new challenges.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility. Video is good for deeper conversations and non-verbal cues, phone calls can fit into busy days or require less bandwidth, and text-based options support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These choices make therapy easier to fit around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
