Louisa Harris helps people who feel overwhelmed, exhausted or stuck. She focuses on grief, anxiety, depression and stress. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, career changes and the effects of trauma or abuse.

Louisa is named as a BACP member, which means she follows professional standards set by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of practice experience and works with adults in the United Kingdom.

Background and approach

Sessions are available in English and she does not take international clients. Her approach is practical and person-centred. Louisa listens first to understand each person's situation.

Then she helps people identify small, manageable steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily coping. Conversations tend to be straightforward and focused on what helps in everyday life. She also offers support around specific concerns such as ADHD, body image, bereavement, chronic illness, caregiver stress and communication problems.

Louisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor sessions to each person's needs and goals. Work with her can include short-term problem solving or longer-term exploration of patterns and attachment issues. Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different schedules and preferences.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Louisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are adapted to each person's needs. One common approach is person-centred work, which focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. This can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

She also draws on practical, problem-solving methods that break down overwhelming issues into small, manageable steps. These techniques suit people dealing with stress, ADHD-related overwhelm, burnout and daily coping challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Louisa works collaboratively with clients to identify what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as goals evolve. The aim is to match style and techniques to the person's needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow a fuller conversational experience with visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or need more flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and medical routines while maintaining consistency of care.
