Ariana Luisa, NCPS

Ariana Luisa is a professionally accredited counsellor who holds NCPS credentials and registration with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society. She offers humanistic therapy to individual adults, working primarily through video and live chat sessions to create a space for reflective exploration.

Ariana focuses on open-ended, exploratory work designed to help people make sense of their feelings, memories, unconscious processes, and relationships. By examining how these elements combine, she supports clients in understanding who they are now and who they hope to become. Her approach encourages curiosity and gradual self-discovery rather than quick fixes.

In sessions Ariana aims to facilitate exploration of identity, values, and life direction while providing an accepting, non-judgmental setting. She believes the counselor's role is to listen with empathy and to support clients in taking charge of their own decisions rather than giving direct advice. Emotions that arise in therapy can sometimes feel difficult or uncomfortable, and Ariana frames that as a normal part of meaningful work.

Practical details are discussed with each person to suit individual needs. Ariana offers 30- and 45-minute sessions and will work collaboratively to find a weekly time that fits both schedules, though she cannot guarantee the same day or time every week due to a varied work timetable. She aims to respond to messages promptly, but she does not provide an emergency service - in a mental health emergency she directs people to contact NHS 111 (option 2) or dial 999 for medical emergencies.

Ariana carries a basic DBS check and is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). Messaging between sessions is available for additional support when required. She offers video and live chat appointments and does not provide telephone or audio-only counselling at this time.
