About Louisa
Louisa Cibrian offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She meets each person where they are and helps them work through immediate problems. Louisa makes space for conversations about relationships, addiction, self-esteem and confidence in plain, direct language.
Louisa is a BACP member with five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She believes clients know their own story and draws on that knowledge to set practical goals together.
How Louisa works
Sessions move at the client’s pace and aim to build resilience and clearer thinking. Her approach pays attention to how early relationships can shape present difficulties. She uses attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred and psychodynamic ways of working.
Louisa also draws on trauma-focused methods when past harm affects daily life. In sessions she looks at both causes and coping strategies. That can mean talking through patterns, exploring feelings about loss, or finding healthier ways to manage addictive behaviours.
She offers direct listening and helps people practise new responses outside sessions. Louisa supports people dealing with parenting strain, sleep and eating struggles, career stress, ADHD-related challenges and intimacy concerns. She also has experience with adoption and foster-care issues, cancer-related counselling, end-of-life and hospice matters, and difficulties such as codependency or infidelity.
People can expect clear, practical steps and gentle challenge when needed. Louisa aims to help clients leave sessions with a small, doable plan to try between meetings. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
How Louisa’s approaches work online
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions today. Online sessions using this approach can help someone notice repeating patterns and try new ways of relating to others. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead so people can find their own solutions; this suits issues such as low self-esteem, life changes and indecision.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louisa will discuss which methods might help and adapt them to the person’s goals and preferences. This happens together so the plan fits what the client wants to change and how fast they want to move.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let therapy feel close to face-to-face for deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging give a shorter, more frequent way to check in between sessions and suit people who find written words easier to use.
Using these options makes it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and lets people try different formats to see what helps most.
