About Louise

Louise Ralph is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She offers practical support for issues such as addictions, sleep and eating problems, relationship and intimacy worries, and trauma and abuse. Louise works with adults on concerns like self-esteem, career strain, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

She is based in the United Kingdom and has eight years of practice experience. Louise uses a person-centred stance that values each person's experience and choices.

Background and approach

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. When helpful, she introduces practical skills from cognitive behavioural approaches to manage unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and how to get there, paced to match each person's readiness.

Her background includes work supporting people through bereavement at St Christopher's hospice and providing employee assistance programme counselling for PAM Assist UK and Validium Health Heroes UK. Those roles contributed to her experience with a wide range of mental and physical health concerns. Louise combines that practical experience with ongoing clinical practice in her personal work.

Sessions are offered by video call, telephone, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different preferences. She sees people during daytime, evenings and some Saturday daytime hours. Practical choices about timing and format are part of the initial planning stage.

Louise holds BACP registration with a Diploma at level 4 in therapeutic counselling and psychotherapy. Her style is warm and collaborative, aiming to build trust so people feel able to talk openly and take steady steps forward.

Ways of working Louise names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Louise uses therapy approaches online

Louise draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how close relationships influence current difficulties. This approach can help when patterns from early relationships cause repeated problems in trust, intimacy or feeling safe with others.

She also uses client-centred work, which focuses on listening and supporting the person to find their own answers. That approach is useful for people who need space to process grief, identity concerns or big life transitions. Louise may introduce cognitive behavioural techniques to help manage unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills for anxiety, sleep or mood problems.

Choosing the right blend of approaches is part of the therapy process. Louise works together with each person to decide what methods feel most useful, adjusting the plan as progress is made and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well when visual contact helps the conversation, while phone sessions are useful if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be helpful for quick reflections, ongoing check-ins or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit around work, caregiving or busy days.
