About Luisa
Luisa Passalacqua is a counsellor who uses a person-focused, practical approach to help people find better ways to rest and cope. She brings 12 years of experience in the United Kingdom and works in English, French and Italian. Luisa holds BACP registration and aims to create a calm, respectful space for talking through worries.
She commonly helps people struggling with sleep problems alongside stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, grief and relationship strain. Sessions often focus on simple, practical steps to improve daily routines and emotional balance.
Luisa draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. She also uses client-centred techniques to follow the person’s pace, and cognitive behavioural tools to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. These approaches are used together depending on what each person needs.
Conversations are straightforward and aimed at what will help most day to day. Luisa talks through sleep routines, coping strategies for stress, and ways to reduce anger and reactivity. She also offers coaching for career and life transitions when people want practical next steps.
Clients can expect sessions that balance listening with clear steps to try between meetings. To begin, people follow the site match process and arrange appointments according to the therapist’s schedule. Luisa accepts international clients and works to find an approach suited to each person.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Luisa uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques in her work. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and patterns, helping people understand why they react certain ways. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and trying manageable changes to improve sleep, mood and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life by reducing travel and allowing sessions during breaks, evenings or different time zones for international clients. It also lets people use shorter check-ins or camera-off options if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt techniques for remote work so practical steps around sleep routines and stress management remain central to the sessions.
