About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience offering straightforward, practical help. She creates a calm space where people can talk through what feels stuck and build steps towards change. Sessions focus on what a person needs now and next, whether that means short-term clarity or longer-term reflection.
Her practice blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas and client-centred listening. Louisa uses reflective questioning to help people notice patterns, make different choices and process emotions that have been held for a long time.
Background and approach
She also draws on psychodynamic and existential perspectives when exploring deeper life themes. People come for many reasons including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, stress and burnout. Other areas she addresses include sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, career pressures, parenting strain, and coping with illness or major life changes.
She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, and communication problems. Sessions are delivered in English and Twi, and Louisa is able to work with international clients. Fees vary depending on location and availability and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
To get started, people select the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to availability. Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. The aim is to leave with practical tools and clearer next steps, whether that happens in a few sessions or over a longer period.

How Louisa works online
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals, preferences and practical needs, and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process where choices are reviewed as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online work include making it easier to fit sessions around work or caring duties and reducing travel time. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins when needed, or offer morning slots to suit busier days. Because the exact session formats are not detailed here, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what will be offered and how it will fit into your routine.
