Louise Fineberg, BACP

Louise Fineberg offers a warm, person-centred way of working that helps people talk through painful issues and find steady ground. She uses a client-focused approach that puts the person's experience first and helps them notice their own strengths. Louise speaks plainly and aims to make each session feel straightforward and manageable for a worried parent or someone under stress.

She has nine years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Over that time she has supported people through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and sleep problems. She also works with issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness, cancer, and problems around fertility and separation.

In sessions Louise combines client-centred listening with mindfulness practices to help people calm and focus. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and mood. The result is a practical blend that aims to make everyday life easier, one step at a time.

Her style is calm and encouraging. Conversations are straightforward, with an emphasis on building on what already works for the person. Louise helps people set small goals and notices progress as they go.

To begin a course of work clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. She accepts people internationally and runs sessions in English.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's own perspective. The therapist offers empathic listening and helps people identify their strengths so they can make changes that feel right for them. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and improve sleep and mood. These techniques can be useful alongside talking about difficult experiences and managing cravings or anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of listening, mindfulness and psychodynamic reflection feels most useful. Goals, preferences and practical needs all guide that choice so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when visual cues help. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, written reflection or when a shorter, flexible option is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and pacing to these formats so sessions remain practical and focused.
