About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist with 13 years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Twi, and international clients can be seen.
Louisa uses approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work and client-centred methods. She offers both short-term work for focused goals and longer-term therapy for deeper reflection. In sessions she uses reflective questions and practical tools to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as career stress, parenting issues, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing grief, loss, chronic illness, cancer and caregiver stress. Those interested in relationship work may find her couples workshops useful for hands-on communication practice.
Louisa describes her style as reflective and solution-focused while also attending to deeper emotional material. She helps clients identify limiting beliefs, work through repressed feelings and develop strategies to manage day-to-day challenges. Practical techniques and conversational exploration are combined in sessions.

How online sessions draw on therapeutic approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is about noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing values-driven actions despite them. It can help with anxiety, avoidance and feeling stuck by teaching practical exercises for living in line with what matters.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships that formed early on. It helps people understand how those patterns shape current intimacy, trust and conflict so they can experiment with new ways of relating.
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the client’s experience and pace. The counsellor listens closely and reflects what emerges, which can be useful when sorting through uncertainty after big life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide which methods suit the client’s goals, needs and preferences. That decision is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed prescription.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments around study, work or caregiving, and options for shorter check-ins when a full session is hard to schedule. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current online options before booking to make sure they suit your routine and technology. Online work can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling early-adult life demands.
