Louisa Addo-Williams, BACP

Louisa Addo-Williams is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 13 years of experience. She holds BACP accreditation, and offers a warm, reflective approach for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She works in English and Twi and supports international clients based in the United Kingdom.

Louisa focuses on practical change as well as understanding. She uses client-centred work alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions can be short term for quick clarity or longer term for deeper exploration.

Common areas she helps with include stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also supports people with sleep or eating problems, parenting stresses, career concerns, and long-term health or caregiving strain. Additional interests include attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and coping with major life transitions.

Her style is conversational and reflective. She asks open questions to help people name difficult feelings and spot recurring thoughts and behaviours. Practical tools and small experiments are used alongside talking work so people can test changes between sessions.

Louisa runs short workshops focused on communication and practical skills. She offers early morning appointments for people who need flexible times. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, low mood, or life transitions who want practical ways to move forward.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current patterns. It can help those who struggle with closeness, trust or repeated relationship difficulties by identifying and changing relational habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to a person’s goals and preferences and suggest whether ACT, attachment-based work or client-centred exploration fits best. This is decided collaboratively and can change as progress unfolds.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, try shorter check-ins, or access support when location is a barrier. Because the original profile does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective work and practical experiments for remote sessions so people can try small changes between meetings.
