About

About Louisa

Louisa Addo-Williams is a counsellor and psychotherapist who uses reflective, client-centred ways of working to help people move forward. She holds BACP accreditation and brings 13 years of practice to conversations about stress, relationships and life changes. Louisa speaks English and Twi and sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

Louisa focuses on practical steps as well as exploring deeper feelings. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at how past patterns shape present choices.

Background and approach

That combination supports practical goal-setting and slower, reflective work when needed. Short-term work is available for people who want clarity and immediate strategies, and longer-term therapy is offered for those seeking deeper change. She also runs couples workshops that teach hands-on communication and conflict skills in a focused setting.

Session times can include early morning slots from 6:00 AM. Common concerns Louisa addresses include anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and relationship problems. She also helps with career stress, parenting questions, eating and sleeping difficulties, burnout and ADHD-related struggles.

Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness, and separation and divorce. Her style is open and questioning, aiming to help people notice limiting beliefs and try different behaviours. The process combines short-term practical tools with longer-term exploration, depending on what each person needs.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and when life feels stuck because it mixes practical exercises with mindful noticing. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present patterns. It helps people understand why certain relationship responses come up and supports learning new ways to connect and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try methods that fit the issues at hand and adjust the plan if something is not helping. That collaborative stance aims to match techniques to what the person wants from therapy.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow early morning appointments. It can also make shorter check-ins or phone conversations possible when a quick catch-up is all that is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to pace therapy around everyday responsibilities.
