Luisa Passalacqua, BACP

Luisa Passalacqua is a counsellor with a background in supporting people through difficult moments. She holds BACP registration and brings 12 years of professional experience. She offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk about what matters to them right now.

She focuses on family issues and relationship matters, and on the effects of trauma and abuse. Sleeping problems, anger, stress and anxiety are common topics she helps people work through. She also supports concerns around addiction, grief, self-esteem and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Her work draws on approaches that include attachment-based therapy, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. She uses these to help people understand patterns, test small changes and build practical ways to feel steadier day to day. Dialectical behaviour ideas and existential perspectives also inform longer term exploration when useful.

Luisa can support people dealing with parenting strain, blended family difficulties and family of origin problems. She also works with issues such as codependency, communication struggles, control and abandonment concerns. Sessions may include coaching-style goals or help with coping through life changes.

Sessions are offered in English, French and Italian. International clients are accepted. To begin, users select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Luisa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and on how early connections shape present-day responses. In practice this means naming recurring relationship patterns and trying new ways of being that feel safer and more connected. Client-centred therapy centres the person's experience and pace, offering listening and reflection so people can find their own solutions and gain clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviours and feelings and uses straightforward exercises to reduce distress and improve daily routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to bring practical exercises into everyday life and to maintain continuity across periods of change.
