About Louisa

Louisa Addo-Williams is a counsellor and psychotherapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) credential and 13 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She provides a calm, practical space for people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps. Her style is open and reflective, with an emphasis on developing clear, usable strategies for everyday life.

Louisa blends client-centred work with solution-focused thinking and psychodynamic reflection. She helps people identify unhelpful patterns and test small changes that can ease stress and improve relationships. Sessions often involve honest questioning and simple exercises to build insight and momentum.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency. She also supports people facing career pressures, burnout, parenting strains, chronic health challenges, and questions about identity and commitment.

Louisa offers both short-term therapy for focused goals and longer-term work for deeper change. She runs workshops that teach practical communication skills and provides early morning appointments to suit busy schedules. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and priorities.

She works in English and Twi and accepts international clients. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How these therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters most to them and take small, values-led steps even when emotions are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and codependency-related struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting; it helps people notice patterns in closeness, trust and boundary-setting in relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering empathic listening and space for someone to find their own solutions and build confidence.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to see what fits their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions often start with practical goals and adjust as insight and priorities change, so the plan evolves together.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or early morning appointments when that better suits a person’s routine. Registered or accredited professionals will discuss how to structure sessions to match practical needs and therapeutic aims.
