About Louise
Louise Ralph BACP welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or life changes. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, addiction, mood difficulties and challenges around identity and intimacy. Louise is based near London and presents a calm, straightforward approach aimed at making therapy practical and understandable.
She trained to Diploma Level 4 as a therapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist and uses that background to guide her practice. Her work draws on person-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking, which helps uncover patterns that affect daily life. She also offers sessions by telephone and video at times that include daytime, evenings and Saturday daytime.
Clients bring a wide range of issues including depression, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, ADHD, anger and career concerns. Louise also supports people dealing with bereavement and long-term health challenges, and she has experience with compassion fatigue and caregiver stress.
Her professional experience includes roles with employee assistance programmes and charities, and she began her counselling journey volunteering at a hospice. That history informs how she talks about loss, ageing and serious illness with sensitivity.
In practice Louise focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship first. Therapy tends to be conversational and reflective, with attention to patterns in relationships and practical ways to cope between sessions. She aims to help people feel more empowered to manage their lives and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online therapy options
Louise works from client-centred and attachment-based perspectives that aim to strengthen the therapeutic relationship and explore how past connections affect present feelings. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions, which can help with low mood, self-esteem and decision-making. Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how these show up now, useful for intimacy issues, trust concerns and relationship struggles.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Louise will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together decide what to try first. She adapts sessions over time so therapy stays practical and relevant to your daily life.
Her practice offers telephone and video sessions, and these can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. Telephone calls can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, while video helps maintain a face-to-face feel. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available and can pick what suits your routine and circumstances.
