About Luisa
Luisa Passalacqua uses a client-centred style to help people feel heard and seen from the first session. She is described by her BACP credential and brings 12 years of practice in the United Kingdom. Luisa keeps sessions straightforward and practical so people can start making small changes quickly.
She focuses on family difficulties, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger and stress. Work-related concerns, career decisions and coping with life changes are also areas she supports.
Background and approach
Luisa helps people facing anxiety, depression, addictions and issues with intimacy or self-esteem. Her approach draws on attachment ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques to address thinking and behaviour that get in the way.
Dialectical and existential ideas are included when emotions and meaning become the focus. Luisa aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about painful topics. Sessions are practical and collaborative, with strategies tailored to each person.
She also offers coaching-style guidance when clients want structured steps toward goals. She works in English, French and Italian and accepts international clients. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that fit the person's goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative way ensures sessions stay relevant and adjustments are made as work develops.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be quicker and require less bandwidth, while live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family life, and to continue progress even when schedules change.
