Louisa Addo-Williams, BACP

Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of practice. She offers a calm, practical approach for people who feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed. Sessions aim to help clients make sense of difficult feelings and take manageable steps forward.

Her work often focuses on relationship problems, stress at work, grief and life transitions. She also supports people with anxiety, depression, trauma and a range of intimacy and identity concerns. Louisa uses clear questions and practical tools so conversations lead to changes outside the room.

Louisa blends client-centred listening with approaches that look at values, attachment and deeper life themes. This mix lets her tailor sessions for short-term clarity or longer-term exploration. She offers short-term focused work of around six sessions as well as longer therapy where needed.

Her experience includes running couples workshops that teach practical communication skills. Louisa schedules flexible appointment times, including early morning slots, to fit different routines. She works in English and Twi and is based in the United Kingdom.

To begin, Louisa asks people to complete a short questionnaire so she can match the work to their needs. That helps shape a plan together and pick the right pace of work for the person sitting in the chair.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with long-term health worries. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early bonds shape current reactions. This can help with intimacy, communication and relationship distress. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work, with empathic listening and collaboration to build self-understanding and practical next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Louisa will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. She adjusts the balance of short-term strategies and deeper exploration so the plan matches what the client wants to achieve.

Confirm the specific online or remote formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Many people find remote therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or allowing earlier or later appointments. Remote work can also make it easier to keep check-ins brief on busy days or to join from different time zones when international arrangements are needed.
