Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience. She offers a calm, practical space where people can talk things through and find ways to cope. Sessions are aimed at helping people handle stress, anxiety, relationship problems and big life changes.

She uses a blend of approaches that suit each person’s situation. That might mean focusing on values and committed action, looking at how early bonds influence current relationships, or using a person-centred style to follow what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

Louisa also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas when helpful. In practice she helps people with a wide range of concerns. Common themes include trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, and issues around intimacy, self-esteem and communication.

She also supports people facing career stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and the challenges of parenting and blended family life. Sessions can be short-term for practical strategies, or longer-term for deeper exploration. Louisa works with LGBT concerns, eating and sleeping problems, anger, ADHD-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

She explains things simply and offers tools people can use between sessions. Louisa offers appointments in English and Twi and can work with international clients. She believes progress grows from a steady, collaborative relationship and practical steps taken together.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take small steps towards them while learning to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and uses that understanding to change how people relate and feel close to others. It often helps with intimacy, trust and communication difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest which approaches might fit best. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and Louisa will work collaboratively to adjust the plan.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and exercises that benefit from seeing expressions. Phone sessions can fit shorter check-ins or times with lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing contact and brief reflections between calls, which can help people stay connected to the therapeutic process when schedules are busy.
