About Louise

Louise Davies is a counsellor who offers calm, steady support for people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety and life changes. She greets clients with warmth and a straightforward style. Sessions aim to help people make sense of what feels unmanageable and find small, practical ways to cope.

Louise draws on her experience living in the UK and time spent in Israel, and she speaks some Hebrew. That background helps when cultural or religious issues are part of the concern. She also says she has lived experience of many of the difficulties people bring to therapy, which informs a compassionate, down-to-earth approach.

Her work is rooted in person-centred practice, with attention to attachment patterns and psychodynamic ideas about how past events shape present feelings. That mix means she spends time building a trusting connection, listens closely, and helps people notice repeated patterns in their relationships and emotions.

Therapy may include looking back at past experiences to understand current reactions, or focusing on present-day strategies to manage stress, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. She supports people coping with neurodiversity, parenting pressures, career concerns, codependency and intimacy issues, among others.

Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew. Louise holds BACP accreditation, and she is training to be a counselling supervisor. To start, people follow the site process to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Louise uses person-centred ways of working that focus on the client's experience and aim to make people feel heard and accepted. This approach helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk about relationship or identity concerns.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This can be useful for people noticing repeated problems in friendships, parenting or intimate relationships. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice how past events influence present feelings and surprising reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which ideas to try first. That collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what a person wants to change or understand.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also let people access a therapist who speaks Hebrew or has particular cultural experience without needing to travel.
