Luisa Picciuto is an emotional wellbeing coach, offering support to children, adolescents and young adults, to help them manage challenges in their lives. She is a kind, approachable and thoughtful practitioner, who creates good relationships with her clients.
Luisa helps young people identify the difficult situations they have in their life, explore how they manage their emotions around this, and teach coping skills. Where appropriate, Luisa aims to work with the family unit, particularly offering parental sessions to help parents understand their child's difficulties and learn how they can support their emotional wellbeing at home too.
Luisa studied Psychology at the University of Leeds (BSc), and Child Development (MSc) at UCL. Luisa has also studied Low Intensity CBT Interventions (PGDip) at UCL. Luisa has over 10 years experience of working with children, young people and adults with a range of emotional and mental health needs, including working in NHS services including Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), Schools (including with special educational needs) and charity organisations.
Luisa is currently enrolled at the University of Roehampton on the MA in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy for Children, Adolescents and Families. In late-2024, once qualification is completed, Luisa will be offering Counselling and Psychotherapy for young people. Until this point, Luisa is not offering Psychotherapy or Counselling with her clients, focusing solely on provided 1-1 support through coaching.
