About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience. She offers a calm, down-to-earth approach for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about their next step. Louisa speaks English and Twi and works online with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice their values and build more meaningful routines. She combines this with client-centred listening to make sure each session matches what matters to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions may be short-term for focused goals or longer-term for deeper change. Louisa helps people talk through common concerns such as depression, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, stress, and career strain. She also supports those facing trauma, intimacy worries, sleeping or eating issues, and parenting pressures.
Her practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment issues, codependency, and chronic health challenges. Her style is practical and reflective. Louisa uses gentle questioning to surface feelings and patterns, then works with clients to try small, manageable changes.
She also uses solution-focused tasks to bring immediate relief alongside deeper psychodynamic exploration when needed. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and can choose sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs vary with location and therapist availability and use a cancellable subscription model.

Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early patterns of relating affect present relationships and feelings. It can help people understand recurring trust, closeness or abandonment worries and change how they respond in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. Sessions are collaborative - Louisa checks in about what helps and adjusts the way she works if something isn't useful.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suits short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options provide flexibility to continue work from different places and at different times, while keeping the therapeutic focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
