Luisvet Barragans Villarroel, BACP

Luisvet Barragans Villarroel helps people facing parenting worries, low self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, depression and ADHD. She greets clients with a calm presence and a straightforward, empathic style. Sessions aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about and to find practical next steps.

She keeps work focused on the person in front of her. Conversations explore feelings, behaviour and patterns from everyday life. She draws on approaches that encourage insight, problem solving and present-moment awareness so people can choose what feels most useful.

Her background includes three years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That means she works within a professional framework and follows recognised standards of practice.

In therapy she uses gentle listening combined with techniques that help shift thinking and coping. Some sessions look at past experiences that shape current patterns, while others focus on short-term goals and skills to manage stress and anxiety. Mindfulness tools are offered to support regulation and focus.

Therapy is offered in English and Spanish. The first step is a short matching questionnaire to help connect people to the right therapist and then scheduling is arranged based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model which can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches fit with online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space. The counsellor mirrors what you say and helps you make your own choices, which can help with self-esteem, parenting concerns and relationship patterns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits.

Existential work helps people reflect on meaning, values and identity. It can be useful when someone feels empty, stuck or is re-evaluating life choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences, try different ways of working and agree a plan that fits your needs. That makes the process collaborative rather than one-size-fits-all.

Confirm the exact online options before you book, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises and behavioural tasks between sessions to build new routines.
