About Louise

Louise Eliadis is a clinical counsellor with PACFA accreditation and 20 years of experience. She works plainly and directly with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or life changes. Her style is warm and steady, helping clients make small, practical shifts that add up over time.

Louise draws on a mix of approaches so sessions match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to tackle anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviour.

Background and approach

Emotionally-Focused and client-centred ways of working help people feel heard and build stronger emotional awareness. Her background includes work across community settings and running workshops around Australia. Those workshops covered emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection.

That practical teaching informs how she guides people in day-to-day coping skills and body-based awareness. In the counselling room she focuses on emotional regulation, releasing stuck trauma, and building self-worth. She also helps people manage anger, addiction patterns and difficult family-of-origin issues.

Sessions are aimed at clear, achievable steps rather than long lectures. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies by location and therapist availability.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling happens after that.

Evidence-informed approaches for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing values-based action. It can help when anxiety and avoidance stop people doing what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with practical exercises. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and learning different coping habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they tailor a plan that may blend ACT, CBT and emotionally-focused ways of working depending on needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat suit people who prefer writing, want ongoing check-ins, or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work from different locations.
