About Louisa

Louisa Addo-Williams is a counsellor and psychotherapist with BACP registration and 13 years of experience. She draws on practical methods to help people who feel stuck, anxious, or unsure about next steps. Louisa keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.

Her work often centres on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and depression. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy, eating and sleeping concerns, and career or life changes.

Background and approach

Clients can expect a mix of short-term focused work and longer-term therapy depending on their aims. Louisa uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and client-centred listening. She blends these with solution-focused and existential perspectives to help clients notice what matters and try practical steps.

This gives space to both feelings and concrete change. She has experience helping people with a wide range of challenges such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar difficulties, caregiver stress and chronic illness. Louisa also addresses relationship patterns like codependency, commitment worries and communication problems.

Sessions aim to clarify patterns and build manageable ways forward. Louisa offers flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. She works in English and Twi and accepts international clients.

Her fees vary with location and sessions are arranged via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to therapist availability. This helps match priorities and choose the right pace for each person.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and when life changes feel overwhelming. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping, and it can help with trust, intimacy and repeated relationship problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasnt helped before. Together they choose methods to try and adapt them as progress or priorities change, keeping the process collaborative.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make sessions easier to fit in. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across different schedules and locations, and they help people keep therapy part of everyday life.
