Luisvet Barragans VillarroelBACP

Luisvet Barragans Villarroel is a counsellor who supports people facing pregnancy and childbirth concerns as well as everyday struggles like anxiety, depression and parenting stress. She uses a calm, empathic manner to help people feel heard and understood. Luisvet speaks English and Spanish and works from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP.

Her sessions focus on practical ways to cope with stress, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. She draws on client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to notice unhelpful thinking and try different actions between sessions.

Luisvet also uses mindfulness practices to help with overwhelming feelings and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from earlier relationships. Existential ideas are brought in when people want to explore meaning and life choices. These approaches are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.

She aims for a warm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about sensitive issues like trauma, eating concerns, fertility and family problems. Sessions often include small, practical exercises and reflective conversation to build coping skills and clearer choices.

With three years of professional experience, Luisvet supports clients through steps towards change. The process begins with an honest conversation about goals and a plan that fits daily life. For people balancing care responsibilities or work, she looks for realistic ways to make therapy useful.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the client brings to the room. It helps people feel understood and decide their own goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses small experiments and tasks to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations so strong emotions are easier to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and everyday pressures, and they will choose methods together. This collaborative process can mean trying different techniques and adjusting them as progress is made.

Confirm the session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work or travel by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises between sessions and practise behavioural tasks in real-life settings to see what helps.
