About Louisa

Louisa Cibrian welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down. She offers a calm presence and practical support for stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Louisa is named in this profile and works to help people find steadier patterns and more control over their day-to-day life.

She has five years of professional experience and is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Louisa uses a straightforward, non-judgemental style and helps people notice what gets in the way of rest and recovery. She encourages small, manageable steps that fit into busy lives.

Louisa draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to build trust and to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She also uses psychodynamic and trauma-focused approaches where helpful, to look at past experiences that affect current patterns. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to each person rather than rushed.

In practical terms Louisa works with issues such as addictions, grief, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and coping with major life changes. She also supports people facing fertility, end-of-life and bereavement challenges. Her approach aims to increase awareness and to strengthen coping skills.

Her manner is accepting and flexible about appointment times. To begin, readers are invited to complete the site matching steps and schedule a time that fits their week. Louisa aims to support people as they build resilience and regain better sleep and rest.

How Louisa’s approaches can work online

Louisa uses attachment-based and client-centred approaches that help people feel heard and understood. Attachment-based work looks at the patterns people form in relationships and how those patterns affect sleep, stress and closeness. Client-centred work focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person’s priorities to build practical change.

She also draws on psychodynamic and trauma-focused ideas when past events shape current difficulties. Psychodynamic work helps uncover recurring patterns that influence mood and relationships, while trauma-focused work addresses the impact of distressing events on daily functioning and rest.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and will adapt methods as people progress. This is a collaborative process aimed at practical improvements in sleep, coping and emotional balance.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and family life, avoiding travel time and having shorter check-ins when useful. The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking.
