About Louisa

Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of practice. She offers a calm, straightforward space for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next step. Sessions focus on practical changes as well as deeper reflection. She speaks English and Twi and works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening to help people notice what matters and act on it. She also uses existential and psychodynamic perspectives to look at long-standing patterns and life choices. That mix supports both short-term problem solving and longer-term self-understanding.

Louisa provides short-term therapy for immediate clarity and longer-term therapy for deeper change. She offers hands-on couples workshops that teach communication skills through practice. Early morning appointments are available for people who need flexible scheduling.

Her background includes supporting people through relationship strain, workplace stress, grief and trauma, and challenges such as chronic illness, caregiving pressure and ageing-related concerns. She aims to help people process difficult emotions, rebuild routines, and find workable steps forward.

Sessions are shaped around the individual’s aims and pace. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary with location and use a cancellable subscription model.

How Louisa’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when feelings are difficult. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people notice and shift those patterns in present relationships.

Louisa sees therapy as a collaborative process. She will discuss different approaches and work with each person to find what fits best for their goals and preferences. That way the plan is shaped by what the person wants to achieve, not a single method imposed from the start.

Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow early morning appointments, or reduce travel time. It also makes ongoing check-ins and short coaching-style conversations simpler to arrange when that suits someone’s routine.
