Luisa Passalacqua, BACP

Luisa Passalacqua is a UK-based therapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings 12 years of professional experience to her practice. She has worked with people facing family conflicts, trauma and abuse, sleeping difficulties, anger management, and a range of other challenges, helping them to explore their concerns and identify practical steps forward.

Luisa places emphasis on creating an environment where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly without fear of judgement. She collaborates with clients to understand their priorities and adapts her approach to fit individual needs, supporting both short-term goals and deeper therapeutic work.

Recognising that seeking change requires courage, Luisa aims to provide steady, compassionate support through the early stages of therapy and beyond. Her practice is focused on helping clients build skills, gain insight, and move toward a more satisfying and balanced life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Luisa Passalacqua integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns and helps address issues such as abandonment, trust, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's experience by offering empathic listening and collaboration to help people clarify their goals and build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, mood, sleep, and stress-related problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Luisa works collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client review progress and adjust methods as therapy unfolds, aiming for a tailored and responsive plan.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living in different locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from home or work, and access support in ways that suit individual routines and comfort levels.
