About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with 13 years of experience practising in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and issues linked to identity and intimacy. Sessions are offered in English and Twi and she accepts international clients.
Louisa uses an approach that blends client-centred listening with practical, solution-focused work. She asks reflective questions to help people name what matters and to spot small changes that make daily life easier. She offers short-term work for clear goals and longer-term therapy when deeper exploration is needed.
Her practice includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy and psychodynamic ideas, among other approaches. That mix is used to help with patterns that repeat, painful memories, and problems with closeness or trust. Louisa often helps people move from understanding to action by identifying values and realistic steps they can try between sessions.
She also runs couples workshops called "Bridging the Gap" that focus on practical communication practice and resolving conflict in the moment. Flexible session times are available, including early morning slots from 6:00 AM. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, people are asked to select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session. This initial step helps match goals and decide whether short-term or longer-term work is most appropriate.
How her approaches translate to online work
Louisa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and to choose small actions that reflect what matters to them. ACT can be useful when guilt or shame lead to avoidance or stuck behaviour.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current worries about closeness and trust. This approach helps when guilt or shame affect how someone connects with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether short-term focused work or longer exploration is a better fit, and adapt methods as the work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session delivery formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for early morning appointments, and reduce travel time. They also permit different ways of meeting around work or family commitments, such as shorter check-ins or scheduled slots outside normal hours.
