About Louisa

Louisa Addo-Williams is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 13 years of experience. She works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She speaks English and Twi and sees international clients as well.

Her approach is practical and reflective. She uses client-centred work alongside solution-focused ideas to help people get clearer about what they want. Louisa also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based thinking and psychodynamic ideas when these fit a person’s needs.

She helps with many life stresses, including anxiety, depression, relationship problems and grief. She also supports people dealing with career strain, parenting pressures, eating and sleeping difficulties, and coping with major life changes. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is included among her areas of focus.

Louisa offers both short-term work for immediate goals and longer-term therapy for deeper change. Her sessions aim to combine practical strategies with opportunities to understand patterns from the past. She explains things simply and asks open questions to help people notice new options.

She runs occasional couples workshops focused on communication and practical skills. Session times include early morning slots starting at 6:00 AM to help fit therapy into busy days. To begin, clients follow the platform process to match and schedule with her.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Louisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take small, concrete steps towards those values. ACT is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions where avoiding feelings keeps someone stuck.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can help with intimacy issues, communication problems and understanding repeated relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit their situation. That choice is made collaboratively and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as this listing does not specify them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for short check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or caring commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can use different methods to suit individual needs, and Louisa will help match the method to your situation.
