About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about their next steps. Her practice addresses relationship strain, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency among other concerns.
Louisa uses a client-centred style that focuses on practical strategies as well as reflection. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-informed thinking and longer psychodynamic work when useful. Sessions look at patterns in relationships, such as people-pleasing or difficulty saying no, and at the feelings that keep those patterns going.
She offers both short-term work for clarity and immediate strategies and longer-term therapy for deeper change. In shorter packages she may concentrate on concrete coping tools and communication techniques. In ongoing work she helps people trace back how past experiences shape current responses and choices.
Louisa also runs workshops on practical communication for couples and offers flexible appointment times, including early mornings. She works with issues around parenting stress, career pressures, chronic illness, and caregiving strain alongside intimacy and attachment concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and Twi, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How Louisa uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking small steps in that direction. It can help when anxiety or avoidance keep someone repeating the same patterns in relationships and life decisions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns to explain why certain reactions feel automatic. This approach can be useful for people who find themselves constantly putting others first or who struggle with trust and intimacy.
Client-Centred Therapy creates a space for people to speak openly while the counsellor reflects and clarifies what is important to them. This approach supports people who need to sort out their feelings and make clearer choices about boundaries and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That collaborative discussion shapes whether sessions stay short-term and strategy-focused or move into deeper, longer-term therapy.
The profile does not specify which online session types are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when camera time is difficult or keep to early morning appointments to match work commitments.
