Luisa Prosser, BACP

Luisa Prosser is a BACP accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with more than 15 years of professional experience supporting children, teenagers and adults. She holds accreditation with BACP, the counselling body that regulates her work, and has developed a practice focused on practical, empathetic support for a wide range of concerns.

For the past three years she has worked in private practice and with an online counselling service, supporting adults with anxiety, depression, stress including work related stress, relationship difficulties, separation and divorce, loss and addiction. She generally meets clients by video call, phone or live chat, tailoring the mode of contact to what each person finds most comfortable.

Earlier in her career she worked with clients diagnosed with ADHD, autism and other special educational needs where challenges to self-esteem and confidence affected studies and life choices. She has helped people to understand diagnoses, recognise strengths and overcome obstacles that interfered with education or future plans. She has also supported young people and young adults exploring sexuality and gender identity, those facing bullying or feeling misunderstood, and people from difficult family situations who have experienced parental conflict, separation, loss or trauma. Her work centers on helping clients find their own voice and sense of identity.

Trained in psychodynamic counselling, Luisa has incorporated cognitive behavioural techniques, art therapy ideas and mindfulness into her practice. Her approach prioritises building a trusting therapeutic relationship, listening for hopes and fears, and working collaboratively to set achievable goals. She aims to provide a sensitive, empathic and non-judgemental space where clients feel heard and respected, and the first session is used to get to know each other, clarify the reasons for seeking therapy and agree how to work together.
