About Louise
Louise Fineberg is a counsellor who works from a client-centred standpoint. She focuses on trauma, relationship concerns, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people facing addictions and sleep difficulties.
Her approach treats each person as the expert on their life and builds on their strengths. Louise uses gentle listening and practical conversation to help people make sense of hard experiences. She combines client-centred care with mindfulness practices to help with stress and to ground difficult feelings.
Background and approach
She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat over time. Clients often bring worries about communication, commitment, or separation. Louise also supports people dealing with illness, chronic pain, fertility struggles, body image, and eating difficulties.
She works with concerns linked to trauma, domestic violence, or substance use in straightforward, compassionate sessions. With nine years' experience, Louise aims to make sessions feel clear and manageable. She helps people set small, achievable goals and practises ways to cope between meetings.
Conversations focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. Sessions are offered in English and can be delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. People join by completing a short matching questionnaire and booking a time that suits them.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client's pace to help them clarify what they want to change. This approach suits people who need space to be heard and to build confidence in their own choices.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts, breath and bodily sensations. These practices can reduce overwhelm and help with sleep problems, stress and anxiety. Mindfulness is often used alongside conversations about difficult memories or life events.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat in relationships and feelings that come up again and again. It helps people make sense of past experiences that still shape current behaviour and emotional responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust based on what helps most. Clients take an active role in choosing the pace and focus of sessions so the plan fits their needs.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are closest to face-to-face conversation and allow visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, flexible contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily routines while keeping therapy accessible.
