Louisa Addo-Williams, BACP

Louisa Addo-Williams works from an approach that centres the client and their values. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-focused thinking and client-centred ways of working to help people find clarity. Louisa speaks English and Twi and brings 13 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom.

She offers straightforward, practical help for stress and anxiety. She also helps people manage depression, grief and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Relationship and intimacy issues are common topics in her sessions, along with career concerns and coping with life changes.

Louisa uses short-term work when people want clear steps and quicker results. She also offers longer-term therapy for deeper exploration and healing. Sessions aim to identify values, test small changes and build skills that fit everyday life.

Her background includes many years working with people facing burnout and compassion fatigue, and those living with chronic health problems and caring responsibilities. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency and complex communication problems.

Practical matters are part of how she works. Louisa can use reflective questioning, solution-focused tasks and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns. She helps set achievable goals and reviews progress as therapy continues.

To begin, people choose a session format that suits them and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is flexible and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches you can explore online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters to them. It uses small practical exercises to build psychological flexibility, which can help with anxiety, stress and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional patterns. Through gentle reflection on those patterns, work can reduce loneliness, improve trust and ease intimacy-related difficulties.

Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to be heard and understood without judgement. The therapist offers empathetic listening and supports clients to find their own answers and pace of change.

Choosing the right style is a shared process. Louisa will explore your needs, goals and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Sessions can combine methods so the work fits real life and changes are practical and measurable.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when you meet. Video calls let you work face to face; phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, reflective writing or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, care duties and daily life.
