Louise Fineberg, BACP

Louise Fineberg is a counsellor who uses client-centred work to help people make sense of painful or confusing experiences. She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and issues such as low self-esteem, depression and addiction. Louise speaks in straightforward terms and encourages people to notice their strengths as they take steps forward.

Her background spans nine years of practice in the United Kingdom with registration through the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns and on mindfulness to help people manage distress in the moment. Sessions emphasise listening, gentle reflection and practical steps the client can try between meetings.

Louise aims to create an open space where people can talk through what matters to them. She supports conversations about difficult subjects like domestic violence, bereavement, chronic illness and addiction, and also helps with everyday struggles such as sleep problems and communication issues. The work is paced to each person’s needs and priorities.

People who want to start are guided through a brief matching questionnaire and then can schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

Louise encourages a collaborative approach. She helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of relating, and build on what already works in their lives.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Louise uses client-centred work to keep the conversation focused on what matters to each person. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients make choices that fit their lives. It suits people who want a respectful, non-judgemental space to talk about relationships, grief or self-esteem concerns.

She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice and manage difficult feelings in the moment. These are practical exercises and simple attention practices that can reduce overwhelm and improve sleep or anxiety. Psychodynamic ideas are drawn on to explore recurring patterns and how past experiences affect present behaviour, which can be helpful for longstanding relationship or mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as progress is made. This collaborative planning helps make sessions feel relevant and manageable.

The therapist’s profile does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quieter space for reflection. It can also be useful when a shorter check-in or an audio-only conversation is preferable, depending on a person’s needs.
