About Luisvet
Luisvet Barragans Villarroel offers support for people facing parenting pressures, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career uncertainty, depression, ADHD and trauma. She is approachable and listens with care. Sessions are intended to help people feel heard and to find practical ways forward.
She uses a client-centred style that focuses on each person’s needs. That means conversations are guided by what matters to the client rather than a fixed plan. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is also part of her practice and is used to spot thought patterns that keep problems going and try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Luisvet draws on mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas too, helping people notice unhelpful habits and trace where feelings might come from. This can be useful for issues like attachment, abandonment, body image and family of origin problems. She aims to help people build small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.
Her work is practical and down to earth. Sessions may include reflective conversation, simple exercises to practise between meetings, and steps for managing stress or emotional overwhelm. She speaks English and Spanish and works in the United Kingdom.
With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Luisvet uses familiar therapeutic tools in a gentle, steady way. If someone wants to explore eating or addiction concerns, relationship strain, fertility worries, or feelings of emptiness, she offers an empathetic space to start talking.

Using therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting conversation. The therapist listens without judging and follows the client’s lead to uncover what matters most and where change is wanted. This approach helps people who need space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In online work this often means noticing unhelpful thinking patterns together and practising small experiments or exercises between sessions to test new ways of responding. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood and some eating concerns.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then agree on an approach or mix of approaches that fits. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted over time as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video helps keep face-to-face contact when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Text and chat allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
