About Luisvet
Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. She works with people facing parenting pressures, low self esteem, career strain, stress and anxiety, as well as family and trauma-related concerns. She also lists support for eating issues, depression and ADHD. Luisvet offers help around abandonment, attachment and blended family issues where these come up.
She uses a client-centred style that focuses on what the person brings to sessions and on building a trusting working relationship. Luisvet also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot patterns of thinking and on psychodynamic thinking to look at past influences. Mindfulness and existential approaches appear in her work when people want to explore meaning, values or present-moment awareness.
In session she aims to listen closely, reflect back what she hears and help people try practical steps between meetings. That might include small behavioural experiments, awareness practices or thinking tools from CBT. Discussions can include family of origin issues, communication problems, forgiveness and coping with emptiness.
She offers therapy in English and Spanish. Sessions are described as supportive and non-judgemental, and she encourages people to take the first steps when they feel ready. Practical concerns such as fertility, caregiver stress, domestic violence and substance use are also noted areas she will address with clients.

How Luisvet integrates approaches for online work
She commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says so they feel understood and can clarify their own goals. That approach helps people who need space to speak about guilt, shame or difficult family experiences.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful patterns. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and recurring self-critical thinking.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process that looks at preferences, values and what someone wants to change.
The site describes a process for beginning online sessions via a matching questionnaire and scheduling.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
