Louise Wood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom.

About Louise

Louise Wood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Louise aims to offer steady support as people take early steps toward change.

She believes the person in the room knows their life best. Her approach builds on a client's own strengths and experiences. Sessions are aimed at helping someone make sense of what is happening and find practical ways to cope day to day.

Background and approach

Louise draws on client-centred ideas that focus on what matters to the individual. She also uses psychodynamic perspectives to look at patterns that repeat over time. Existential therapy helps her explore questions about meaning and purpose when life feels confusing or heavy.

Louise has seven years of professional experience and holds membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes supporting people through grief, relationships, addiction and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. She offers sessions online by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging.

Sessions work well for people needing flexibility, for those juggling work or care responsibilities, and for those who prefer shorter or more frequent check-ins. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

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.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Louise uses client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping people build on their own strengths to cope with stress and emotional pain.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence present behaviour. This can help when someone wants to understand why they react in certain ways or repeat similar relationship dynamics.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences, adjusting the way sessions run if something is not helpful.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker or use less bandwidth, live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options give flexibility for people balancing work, care or other commitments, and for those who prefer different rhythms of contact.
