About Louisa

Louisa Addo-Williams works with people experiencing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and related concerns using reflective, client-centred and solution-focused methods. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of practice experience.

Louisa uses short-term and longer-term counselling depending on what someone needs. She offers six-session packages for focused work and extended therapy for deeper exploration. In sessions she uses open, reflective questioning to help people notice patterns, challenge limiting beliefs and try out practical strategies between meetings.

Her work covers a wide range of issues. These include intimacy-related concerns, parenting strains, workplace stress and career challenges, eating and sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps people cope with life changes, bereavement, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and she supports people living with bipolar and ADHD-related difficulties.

Therapeutic approaches Louisa draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Existential and Psychodynamic methods. She describes her practice as reflective and goal-orientated, aiming to translate insights into everyday change.

Sessions are offered in English and Twi and she welcomes people from outside the UK. Fees vary with location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

Louisa also runs couples workshops focused on practical communication skills and offers early morning appointments starting at 6:00 AM to fit different schedules.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them, then focus on actions that match personal values; this can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and ways of connecting, which is useful for relationship and intimacy concerns. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the client's perspective and uses attentive listening and reflective feedback to help people make sense of their experience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss which methods suit the person's goals and preferences and will adjust the focus as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan handed down at the start.

Practical benefits of online counselling should be confirmed with Louisa because specific session formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Check the available scheduling options and format details before booking so sessions fit into everyday life.
