About Louise
Louise Eliadis is a PACFA clinical member and counsellor with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Her background includes group work and individual support across community settings in Australia.
Louise uses a person-centred way of working that draws on several evidence-based tools. She often combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy techniques. Sessions focus on practical skills for emotional regulation, shifting unhelpful thoughts and building steady routines.
Clients come for help with relationship problems, family of origin concerns, commitment and control issues, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, separation, and the stresses of caregiving or fatherhood. Conversations tend to be straightforward, with clear strategies and opportunities to practise new responses between meetings.
Louise has run workshops around Australia on emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection, which inform her work with body-based approaches and hypnotherapy when useful. She explains approaches plainly and helps people notice how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact.
Her sessions are aimed at adults who want steady, practical steps to manage mood and cope with change. People often leave sessions with a small number of concrete tasks to try and a plan for the next meeting.
How Louise uses ACT, CBT and DBT online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It suits people who feel stuck in worry, avoidance or uncertainty and want clearer next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with small behavioural experiments. It helps when low mood, anxiety or perfectionism get in the way of everyday tasks. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improving communication in tense moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experience and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which tools to try and adjust them as needed, so sessions stay relevant to the person's situation.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so check the session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around study, shifts or short breaks at work. It also allows practice of grounding skills using audio or video and lets the therapist assign short exercises between sessions to build momentum.
