About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I'm Luisa.
I am an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist for children and young people. Being an Integrative therapist means I am trained to use various therapeutic modalities and skills to support each young person. As part of this approach, I offer play-based therapy, which supports children in expressing their thoughts and feelings in safe and healthy ways. I integrate other approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic and Person-Centred approaches.
I work with warmth, empathy, and a non-judgmental attitude, holding space for any young person to explore their feelings and experiences in a safe, ethical environment. As a therapist with a modern and fresh perspective, I bring a warm, ‘human’, welcoming vibe to every session.
My approach is also systemic, which means I understand that young people don’t exist in isolation. I work with the whole family, recognising the importance of supporting not just the individual, but the entire system around them.
Practice description
My practice is based in a garden therapy room in the AL1 area. I also work online with young people who prefer to engage in this way or live outside the local area.
My first session
I offer an initial 15 minute free consultation with any young person/parent who enquires, where I can answer any questions you might have and tell you more about how I work. If you are happy to proceed, we will arrange an initial appointment.
