Louisa Johnson, BACP, NCPS

Louisa Johnson offers a calm, down-to-earth approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, or anxiety. She aims to help clients build stronger self-worth, set clearer boundaries, and feel more confident in everyday life. Louisa writes in a warm, approachable way and uses straightforward conversation to help people make small changes that add up. Louisa works in the United Kingdom and brings three years of professional experience to her counselling. She uses a client-centred approach that focuses on understanding each person as an individual. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client rather than a fixed protocol. People come to her for help with a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, anger, career strain and compassion fatigue. She also supports those facing midlife questions, caregiver stress, isolation, attachment issues and women's issues. In conversation she aims to create a steady, non-judgemental space. The emphasis is on listening, reflecting and helping people notice their own strengths. Practical steps such as boundary-setting, clearer communication and coping strategies are introduced when they fit the person's goals. Louisa explains things plainly and focuses on small, achievable changes. She encourages clients to recognise their resources and to try new ways of handling tricky situations. The overall aim is more confidence, better coping and a clearer sense of direction.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding a person's feelings and perspective. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people find their own solutions. This approach often helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship stress and issues around self-esteem.

In practical terms Louisa uses conversations that follow the client's priorities. She helps people notice their strengths and then tries out manageable steps such as clearer boundaries or coping routines. Choosing the right way of working is collaborative - the therapist and client review what helps and adjust the approach to fit the person's needs and goals.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and richer non-verbal feedback. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step reflection, or times when shorter, regular contact fits into a busy day. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or other commitments.
