Louisa Addo-Williams, BACP

Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of practice. She offers a calm, straightforward way of working for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She speaks English and Twi and is based in the United Kingdom. Louisa aims to help clients find clearer direction and practical steps forward.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centred and psychodynamic ideas. She uses reflective questioning to help people notice patterns and understand the feelings that lie beneath them. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on small, achievable changes that fit daily life.

Louisa has experience supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also works with relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping issues, and ongoing challenges like chronic illness, caregiving strain, and compassion fatigue. She lists ADHD, bipolar and trauma-related issues among her areas of practice.

She offers short-term work for people wanting focused help, and longer-term therapy for those seeking deeper change. Workshops have been part of her practice, with an emphasis on practical communication skills and real-time practice. Session times include early morning options to suit different schedules.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability. Costs vary with location and are handled through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice and change how they relate to others and to themselves. It can help with intimacy, abandonment and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pace, using empathic listening and understanding to create space for change; it is particularly helpful when someone needs to be heard and to build self-trust.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will shape the way sessions run and which methods to use, adapting as progress and needs evolve.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving and other commitments. It also allows for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and it can reduce travel time so more energy is left for the work itself. Many registered or accredited professionals use these formats to help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
