It was my first time doing therapy and Luisa helped me so much. It was like a journey through my life analising lots of feelings, emotions, reactions that were making me feel I wasn't myself anymore. She's very empathetic and she allowed me to direct the session in the way I was feeling more comfortable with. Definitely a great experience. More...

Working with Luisa has been instrumental is allowing my husband and I to communicate effectively - across 2 cultures, languages and really different backgrounds. She has a unique ability to bring her clients independently back to center. More...

I have just completed a series of sessions with Luisa to deal with a number of issues and get my insomnia under control. I found her to be extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional and I am sleeping better than I have for about 45 years... A sure sign of success.
Thanks Luisa

Luisa really helped me dig deeper into the source of the way I was feeling in a way that almost felt like second nature. She made me feel comfortable in the space she created and taught me techniques that I will no doubt carry with me and use forever. More...

The sessions with Luisa are fantastic, it feels like you are just talking to a friend. She truly tries to understand where exactly you are coming from. She's great at active listening and doesn't try to force her opinions. She kindly guides you through the session so you can reach the results you need. More...

The survive I have received from my Counsoller has been her beneficial and helpful. Throughout my journey of counselling I have felt a level of comfort with the Counsoller and feel like I have come out on the other side as a better person. The technique used by Luisa was something that worked for me personally and many could also benefit from this in the future and I would definitely recommend her to anyone struggling with similar issues.

Luisa was very helpful and she made me feel comfortable and that my problems mattered. I highly recommend Luisa as she will make you feel at ease if you are new with talking to someone or not very good in social situations like myself.

Q&As

I am always intrigued by what people tell me about their life plans, work challenges, and their way of dealing with them.
It is a privilege for a professional like me to witness the self-regenerating power of each individual, and and my only ambition is to be able to allow the process to unfold in ways I can't predict, I can only nurture and respect.

Enthusiasm about new endeavours in a foreign land.

Most clients appreciate my open-mindedness, creativity and universalism. In previous jobs, I was often appreciated for my reliability and flexibility.

I provide both online and face-to-face services in both Wimbledon SW19 and New Malden KT3. Please check the website for the current rates for online and face-to-face sessions. My website is empowered.me.uk.

Face-to-face sessions are held safely in consulting rooms where enough room allows to keep a minimum distance as per local regulations. Ladies/Gents are regularly cleaned with anti-virus sanitisers.

Services

Counselling is an activity whose goal is to improve the quality of life of clients, supporting their strengths and abilities for self-determination. It provides a space for listening and reflection, in which clients may explore problems related to evolutionary processes, phase transitions, and states of crisis and strengthens the capacity of clients to choose or change. It is an intervention that uses various methods borrowed from different theoretical orientations. Counseling caters to individuals, families, groups, and institutions. It can be provided in various settings such as private practice, education, health, business. (official Assocounseling definition).

Coaching is a collaborative results-orientated process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of life experience and personal growth of the coachee (adapted from official AC definition).

The reparative work normally associated with counselling can be combined with the more proactive, goal-oriented approach of coaching. This is an emerging professional paradigm that integrates "two previously separate disciplines now converging to produce a therapeutic model more powerful and effective than the sum of its parts" (The Integrated Coaching Academy).

We can work as a team to enhance communication and maximise the moments of true connection between partners and protect the relationship from external influences that may be challenging it. LGBTQ+-friendly.
