About Louise

Louise Davies is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, coping with life changes, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem, career questions and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew, and international clients are accepted.

Louise draws on a person-centred way of working and psychodynamic ideas to help people name what feels painful. She aims to build a steady connection so clients can talk through present problems and consider how past experiences shape current patterns. Conversations may include practical strategies for day-to-day coping as well as reflective work about attachment and relationship history.

She says the work can move at a gentle pace and that sometimes looking back gives useful insight into why situations keep repeating. At other times the focus is practical - finding clearer boundaries, better sleep routines, or ways to manage anxiety and overwhelm. Louise also notes her own lived experience with many of the issues she supports people through.

Louise has spent time living in Israel and retains some Hebrew language ability, which informs her understanding of cultural and faith-related concerns for some clients. She is training to be a counselling supervisor and continues to develop her skills while working with adults on a range of life changes.

If someone is carrying guilt or shame about relationships, identity, or past choices, Louise offers a steady, conversational approach that looks at feelings, patterns and practical steps forward. Readers should confirm current session options before booking.

How Louise uses different approaches in online work

Louise commonly draws on person-centred practice and psychodynamic thinking, and also considers attachment-based ideas. Person-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting, helping clients name their feelings and priorities. It suits people who need a conversational space to sort out what matters and to be heard without being directed.

Psychodynamic thinking looks at patterns that repeat over time and how past relationships affect current ones. This can help when guilt or shame links back to old wounds or attachment experiences. Attachment-based ideas focus on how connections and trust influence behaviour, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on needs, goals and preferences rather than picking one fixed route.

Practical benefits of arranging sessions online include fitting talking time around work, parenting duties or travel, and reducing journey time. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can be shorter check-ins, longer weekly meetings, or other arrangements agreed with the therapist to fit everyday life.
