About Louise
Louise Waterfall is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety and grief. She combines client-centred work with existential and somatic ideas to support clearer choices. Louise is a BACP counsellor with twelve years of practical experience in the United Kingdom.
Her sessions focus on understanding what matters most to the person sitting opposite her. She pays attention to bodily signals as well as thoughts and feelings, and she offers simple exercises to increase self-empathy.
Background and approach
That can help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. Louise works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image problems, parenting stresses and career pressures. She also helps people dealing with loss, compassion fatigue and life transitions.
Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, dissociation and end-of-life matters. In sessions she uses body-based awareness, guided imagery and reflective conversation. These methods aim to make emotions easier to understand and manage.
People often leave with small, practical steps they can try between meetings. Her style is collaborative and paced to individual needs. She encourages clients to notice what helps them feel steadier and to build on those discoveries.
Online and remote formats are offered for convenience and accessibility.
How Louise blends talk and body work online
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening closely and following what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the counsellor reflects what she hears and helps clients name their experience so they feel understood and can make clearer choices.Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, responsibility and personal values. It helps people facing big questions, life changes or feelings of emptiness by encouraging honest reflection and practical decisions about how to live differently.
Somatic Therapy brings attention to bodily sensations and movement. Exercises in breathing, posture and gentle gesture can help release tension and make emotions easier to work with, which suits issues like anxiety, trauma and burnout.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The counsellor will work together with the client to try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the focus over time. That collaborative process shapes what happens in sessions and between meetings.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and short guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, journalling prompts and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
