About Louisa
Counsellor and psychotherapist, BACP, with 13 years of practice supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Louisa Addo-Williams works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Twi.
Louisa focuses on practical help and clear ways forward. She uses conversational, client-centred work to help people notice patterns and make different choices. Short-term work is available for those wanting focused change in a few sessions, while longer-term work supports deeper reflection and recovery.
Her background includes a mix of psychodynamic thinking and solution-focused techniques. That means she looks at how past patterns still affect present life, and also works on concrete steps people can try between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to help people live with difficult thoughts while taking action that matters to them.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships shape feelings and behaviour. This can be helpful for issues around intimacy, communication, abandonment and blended family concerns. Practical communication work is offered in couples workshops designed to improve everyday interaction.
Louisa has worked with a wide range of concerns including eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, chronic illness and bereavement. She accepts international clients and asks people to check the current session options before booking. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and still take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and expectations. This approach can clarify issues around intimacy, abandonment and communication in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louisa will discuss different methods with the client and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can help fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing early morning appointments. It can also make some sessions shorter or less visually demanding if that suits a person’s day. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online work that focuses on the same therapeutic aims as face-to-face sessions, including developing coping strategies, improving communication and processing past events.
