Louisa Cibrian , BACP

Louisa Cibrian is a UK-based therapist with five years of professional experience and the credential BACP, which denotes membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. She draws on an integrative, client-centered practice to support people through relationship challenges, grief, addiction, depression, anxiety and the many stresses that life can bring.

Louisa works in a nonjudgmental, strengths-based way, helping clients rebuild after relationship endings, boost self-esteem and explore underlying causes of addictive behaviour as well as practical coping strategies. She offers space for grieving and remembrance while helping to ease feelings of guilt and to process loss. Her work also addresses family and parenting concerns, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger, career worries, ADHD and the impact of childhood experiences on adult life.

Influenced by attachment ideas and psychodynamic perspectives, Louisa aims to increase self-awareness and promote resilience by exploring patterns formed in early relationships and current ways of relating. She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and partners with them to identify strengths and set achievable goals. Her approach is calm, empathetic and focused on gradual, sustainable change.

Louisa has experience supporting clients with a wide range of additional concerns, including adoption and foster care issues, trauma and abuse, bereavement, fertility and hospice-related matters, and complex family dynamics. She works collaboratively to tailor therapeutic work to each person’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online options with Louisa Cibrian

Louisa draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting, empathetic environment where clients are supported to explore their feelings and find their own solutions. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns and decisions about life changes.

She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to explore how early experiences and unconscious patterns influence current behaviour and emotions. This way of working can be useful for understanding long-standing relationship patterns, emotional blocks and the effects of childhood on adulthood.

Attachment-Based Therapy features in her practice to look at how attachment styles shape present relationships and emotional regulation. It can help people rebuild trust, improve intimacy and address the relational roots of anxiety or anger.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Louisa works with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences and adapts the work as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options increase accessibility and allow licensed professionals to support clients in ways that suit each person’s life and pace.
