About Louise
Louise Davies is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' clinical experience. She works with young adults and others facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, identity and coming-to-terms with neurodiversity. She also supports people with intimacy and sexual culture issues, sleep problems, parenting concerns, self-esteem and career pressures.
Louise draws on person-centred ideas while also using psychodynamic and attachment-based thinking. Sessions focus on building a stable connection so people can talk through what is happening for them now. Sometimes that means looking at earlier life events to understand present patterns. Other times it means developing practical strategies to manage day-to-day stressors.
She has lived experience relevant to many of these concerns and has spent time living in Israel, so she can work in English and Hebrew. Her background informs conversations around cultural identity and grief as well as challenges linked to neurodiversity such as autism or ADHD.
Louise is currently training to be a counselling supervisor. In practice she tends to work in a non-directive way, listening closely and reflecting what comes up so clients can make sense of their feelings. She also offers more active support when people need tools to cope with anxiety, sleeping difficulties or intense life changes.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions aim to be predictable and focused on realistic steps a person can take. If someone wants to discuss career doubts, relationship strain, or feeling behind their peers, she helps them break those issues down and explore practical next steps.
How her approaches shape remote sessions
Louise commonly draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships to see how past bonds affect current trust and intimacy. Client-centred practice focuses on really listening and reflecting so a person can make sense of their feelings. Psychodynamic thinking helps identify repeated patterns by linking present reactions to earlier experiences.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. She will explore what matters to the client, what their goals are, and which methods feel most useful. That discussion is collaborative and can change over time as priorities shift.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy around study, shifts and busy schedules. Remote work can make it easier to attend from different locations and can reduce travel time. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered and how they fit your day.
