About Luisvet
Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a counsellor who helps people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and questions around parenting and career. She speaks English and Spanish and works with individuals facing depression, trauma and eating concerns. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings.
She uses a client-centred style that puts the person's experience first. Sessions focus on listening, understanding what matters to the client, and finding practical ways to manage day-to-day problems.
Background and approach
Luisvet also draws on cognitive behavioural tools when clients want to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She brings three years of professional experience and holds BACP registration. That background shapes a steady, respectful way of working rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Luisvet pays attention to how early relationships and life events influence current struggles, using psychodynamic thinking to make sense of repeating patterns. Mindfulness and existential approaches appear in sessions when people want to explore meaning, values and ways to be more present. Those methods are offered alongside brief, goal-focused techniques to create balance between reflection and action.
Practical skills, coping strategies and small experiments are often used between meetings. People can expect conversations that are direct but kind, with gentle challenges when helpful. The emphasis is on collaboration - setting goals together and checking progress.
Luisvet supports people as they work through family issues, addiction concerns, fertility worries and other personal challenges.
Approaches you can use online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and the person's own goals. It helps people feel heard and respected while they work through anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is practical and skills-based. It helps spot unhelpful thinking, test assumptions and build new coping strategies for stress, anxiety and mood difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about needs, goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Decisions are made together and can be adjusted as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief support between sessions or want flexible ways to reflect on thoughts. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work despite distance or scheduling challenges.
