About Louise
Counsellor Louise Ralph is a BACP member with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, grief and depression. Sessions are available by telephone and video according to her biography.
Louise runs a private practice near London and also provides telephone counselling for employee assistance programmes. Her early experience includes bereavement support volunteering at St Christopher's hospice, and she continues to offer services linked to that work.
Her practice draws on several established approaches. She uses client-centred methods to focus on what matters to the person in front of her. She also works with attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how these affect feelings and behaviour.
Cognitive behavioural strategies are used when clients want clearer, practical ways to tackle anxious or low mood symptoms. Dialectical behaviour therapy tools and emotion-focused techniques are available for people who need help managing intense emotions or improving close relationships.
Louise offers daytime, evening and Saturday daytime appointments and accepts international clients. Sessions are delivered by phone and video. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to use the See online counselling options button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Louise uses client-centred work which focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. This approach helps people feel heard and decide which issues to prioritise. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. This can be useful for people wanting to change patterns in close relationships or improve emotional connection.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Louise will discuss different approaches with the client and agree together what to try first. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs and goals evolve.
The profile states she offers telephone and video sessions, and this can make counselling easier to fit into daily life. Phone calls can suit short check-ins or when someone prefers not to use video. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Confirm the current session options before booking to make sure they match day-to-day needs and schedules.
