About Louise
Louise Wood is a counsellor who offers calm, practical help for people feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. She explains things simply and listens closely so people can feel heard. Louise uses a warm, respectful manner to help people take small steps towards feeling more in control.
She believes each person knows their own life best and brings their own strengths to therapy. Sessions focus on what matters now and on building useful tools for day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Louise gently guides conversations so clients can make sense of difficult experiences and find clearer choices. Her work often supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, addiction and relationship concerns. She also helps those navigating grief, anger, compassion fatigue and the effects of life changes.
ADHD, issues around attachment and experiences such as domestic violence or abandonment are included among the areas she addresses. Louise practises using client-centred ways of working alongside psychodynamic and existential ideas. That means she centres the person’s experience, looks at patterns that repeat over time, and helps people find meaning in hard situations.
Sessions aim to be practical while also allowing space to reflect. She holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP, and has seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. People meet her online by choosing a session format that fits their routine and pace.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s viewpoint. The therapist reflects back what is said and supports the client to find their own solutions, which can help with anxiety, stress and low self-esteem.Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that repeat in feelings and relationships. Talking about past and present experiences helps bring those patterns into awareness so people can make different choices in their lives.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Louise will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the way she works to the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the client’s needs guide the choices about methods and pace.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people see and talk in depth, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera isn’t wanted, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or health commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
