About me
Do you feel as if your life is not your own? Does your life feel performative? Like you meet the world with a persona? Are you stuck in the same daily routine or patterns of behaviour and anxiety, that make you feel like you're not truly being yourself?
My name is Luisa, and I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist based in South East London. I work both in-person and online (via Google Meet) to help clients understand and navigate their personal experiences, with a view to becoming more aligned with their true nature, and transforming how they want to live in the world.
My training has been in Integrative, Transpersonal Psychotherapy, which means while having studied many of the dominant theories across Psychoanalytic (Freud, Klein) Humanistic (Rogers, Gestalt, TA, CBT) and Existential (Spinelli, Van Deurzen) therapeutic approaches, my learning has also incorporated a Transpersonal perspective.
My aim is to identify attachment styles, patterns of behaviour and defences, with a view to making these parts of oneself conscious. From this point, there is the potential to work creatively and unearth the deeper aspects of the unconscious.
Ultimately, I hope to serve clients in finding their true selves, while learning to feel more connected to, and contented with their intrinsic qualities.
I am an individual member of BACP and UKCP accredited. I work with adults - both individuals and couples.
I work both online and in-person at the Greenwich Practice Rooms and Caya Therapy in Peckham.
To get in touch - the best first step is to email or WhatsApp message. I may not always be able to take a call, as I could be in session, but I can respond quickly to emails and WhatsApp.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
