About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Twi and she accepts international clients.
Clients come with a mix of practical problems and deeper worries. Louisa uses client-centred and solution-focused methods to help people identify small, useful changes. She also draws on psychodynamic and attachment perspectives to look at patterns that repeat in relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) features when helping people live with difficult feelings while making choices that matter to them.
In short work she supports people who want clarity and immediate strategies. Longer work is available for people seeking deeper reflection and understanding. She also runs couples workshops that focus on communication skills and in-the-moment practice to improve everyday interactions.
Sessions focus on clear questions, reflective listening, and practical steps people can try between meetings. Louisa asks direct questions to uncover recurring patterns and then helps people test new ways of behaving. She pays attention to emotion, meaning, and how past experiences influence current choices.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns beyond the most common ones. These include parenting stresses, caregiving strain, chronic illness, codependency, commitment worries, abandonment and ageing issues. People interested in working with her are invited to follow the matching and booking process to arrange a first appointment.
Approaches Louisa uses and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate action, then choose behaviours aligned with personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and situations where someone feels stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change repeated ways of relating that cause pain. It is often useful for intimacy and communication problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and the person’s own pace of change; it supports people who need space to understand what matters to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louisa treats the choice of method as collaborative and adjusts techniques according to the client’s needs, goals and preferences. She may use short-term solution-focused tasks or longer psychodynamic reflection depending on what people want to address.
Confirm the exact session formats when you book, as options are set during the matching process. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, make it easier to schedule around work or caregiving, and allow a quieter check-in when travel is difficult. Others prefer different rhythms of contact; Louisa will discuss what fits practical routines and the focus of the work before the first meeting.
