About Louise
Louise Ralph is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression and other common struggles. She works with adults to talk through stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and relationship difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged by video, phone, live chat or text messaging.
She has eight years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP. She combines person-centred principles with psychodynamic ideas to shape an individually matched approach.
Background and approach
In practice this means listening first, then helping people notice how past patterns affect current feelings and choices. Louise offers daytime, evening and Saturday daytime appointments to fit different schedules. She has experience providing bereavement support and has worked with an employee assistance programme and health-hero services alongside her personal work.
These roles have informed her practical skills for short-term and ongoing concerns. In a session she aims to build a warm, trusting relationship so clients can speak openly. She helps people set realistic goals and develops steps they can try between meetings.
Her style is steady and supportive, with focus on what will help someone feel more able to cope and move forward. People typically come for help with mood, coping with life changes, sleep and eating difficulties, or problems with self-esteem and intimacy. Louise works collaboratively to tailor therapy to each person's needs and pace.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy is about offering a non-judgemental space where the person feels heard. The counsellor mirrors and reflects what is said so people can make sense of their feelings and choose their next steps, which suits talking over video or phone.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with small experiments. Online CBT may include short exercises and homework between sessions to try new ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods fit the client’s goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative process can adapt as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow more connection through facial cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
