About Louise

Louise Fineberg works with relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and sleep problems using a client-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience.

She believes clients are the experts on their own stories and draws on their strengths during sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and behaviours. She encourages clear, honest talk about relationships, loss and coping strategies.

Her work also addresses issues that often sit alongside core concerns, such as problems with body image, eating, and sexual or domestic violence. She supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, fertility worries and chronic pain, and she can talk about how autism or Asperger syndrome affects everyday life.

Louise uses mindful practice to help people notice patterns of thought and feeling, and psychodynamic ideas to look at repeated relationship patterns that cause distress. Sessions aim to increase understanding of why certain responses keep happening and to try out different ways of relating and behaving.

People who come for counselling can expect straightforward discussion of goals and simple steps to try between sessions. Booking begins with a short questionnaire and then arranging a first meeting to agree how to work together.

How her approaches work for online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own answers; it supports issues such as low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and motivation problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce distress and improve sleep and concentration. Psychodynamic therapy looks at recurring patterns in relationships and behaviour to increase understanding and make different choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest which elements to try first. This is a collaborative process and can change as understanding grows.

Please confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life by removing travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or letting people use audio rather than video if that suits them better. Many registered or accredited professionals find these options help people keep therapy going alongside work, study and family commitments.
