About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of practice. She offers a calm, practical approach for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure about next steps. Sessions aim to help people gain clarity and find workable steps forward.
Her work often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred listening to focus on what matters to the individual. She uses reflective questioning to help people notice patterns and make different choices in daily life.
Background and approach
Practical strategies and short-term goals are included when useful. Louisa also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to understand emotional patterns rooted in past relationships. This helps when relationship worries, intimacy issues, or attachment concerns are present.
She can support conversations about grief, trauma, and major life changes in a paced way. She offers both brief therapy for immediate clarity and longer-term work for deeper change. Options include workshops that focus on communication and hands-on practice for people wanting to work on relationship dynamics.
Sessions are available at varied times to fit different schedules. Sessions are provided in English and Twi and she accepts international clients. Louisa aims to create a non-judgemental space where practical tools meet personal reflection, helping people build resilience and clearer next steps.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Louisa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress and getting unstuck from avoidant patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and ways of relating. It helps when intimacy problems, communication troubles or attachment worries keep recurring.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louisa will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the style based on your goals and preferences. She treats this as a collaboration so you can try different ways of working and decide what helps you most.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or flexible communication during busy days. These options make therapy more accessible when schedules, travel or location would otherwise get in the way.
