Louise Ralph helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out. She focuses on making therapy straightforward and approachable so people can start to feel steadier. Louise works with clients on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and many life changes.

She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, and issues linked to ADHD and bipolar conditions. Louise uses an integrative style that blends person-centred care with other methods to meet practical needs in sessions.

Background and approach

She aims to build a trusting relationship first, so people feel heard and safe to talk about difficult topics. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person’s comfort. She trained to Diploma Level 4 as a therapeutic counsellor and psychotherapist and holds BACP accreditation.

Her background includes work supporting people through bereavement at St Christopher’s hospice. She also provides telephone counselling for employee assistance programmes and wellbeing services. Sessions happen by video or phone, and Louise offers daytime, evening and Saturday daytime appointments to fit different schedules.

International clients may be seen in English. Practical goals and coping skills are usually a focus, alongside exploring how past experiences affect current feelings. Many people come to Louise wanting clearer coping strategies, more balanced moods, or help navigating difficult relationships.

She helps people set realistic goals and works alongside them to make steady progress.

How Louise’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape feelings and reactions today. In sessions this can help when anxiety, trust or relationship patterns repeat and cause distress. Client-centred therapy keeps the person’s experience central - the counsellor listens without judgement and helps people find their own answers and pace for change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical tools to manage mood, worry or compulsive habits.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. Louise will discuss what feels most useful and adapt methods to match the client’s goals and preferences. The approach can shift as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a modern life. Video works well for deeper conversations, while phone sessions suit people with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, short exercises or when someone needs to work around a busy day. These options make it easier to attend appointments from different time slots and reduce travel or waiting time.
