Luisvet Barragans Villarroel, BACP

Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing midlife questions and many related stresses. She supports those dealing with anxiety, depression, parenting pressures, career concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to make it easier to talk about painful or confusing experiences.

Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She uses a client-centred way of working that puts the person’s experience first. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual, not on fitting them into a template.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify thought patterns that keep problems active. That approach is practical and focuses on everyday changes people can try between sessions. Mindfulness ideas are used too, to help people notice feelings without getting overwhelmed.

Luisvet has three years of clinical experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential shown. She often works with people who have experienced trauma, issues with attachment or abandonment, eating and body image concerns, or family-related stress.

People can expect a straightforward and steady approach in sessions. Conversations explore recent difficulties, past patterns, and small steps toward change. The aim is to build coping strategies and clearer choices over time, with sensitivity to each person’s story.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens closely and helps the client find their own solutions rather than prescribing steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that maintain problems and testing small changes in daily life. This can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving practical tasks to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Luisvet will discuss what seems most useful based on goals, history and preferences. The plan can change as people learn more about what helps them and what fits their day-to-day routines.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make joining sessions in different time zones or during work breaks more feasible. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
