Louise Eliadis, PACFA

Louise Eliadis is a Clinical Counsellor with PACFA credentials and more than 20 years working in mental health. She offers a grounded, person-centred approach that helps people move through stress, anxiety, anger and life changes. She also supports those coping with low self-esteem and depression.

Louise blends practical talking therapy with body‑focused methods. Sessions often focus on emotional regulation and learning skills to manage impulses and intense feelings. She also helps people explore attachment and abandonment issues and the effects of family of origin on current relationships.

Her background includes a Master of Health Sciences in Sexual Health, a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Over two decades she has worked across clinical and community settings and led workshops around emotional regulation and sexual health in Australia.

In sessions Louise uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and client-centred methods. She may also draw on hypnotherapy and somatic techniques to help release stored tension and restore balance between body and mind.

People meet her for help with grief, trauma, substance use, relationship communication problems and the stress of caregiving or separation. Her style is compassionate and practical, aimed at helping people make steady changes they can use in everyday life.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build small, values‑based steps. It supports work on anxiety, depression and the stress of life changes by teaching acceptance skills and committed action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing it with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and low mood. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in relationships and emotions to improve emotional connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals and what feels manageable, then tailor methods from these approaches to suit the situation. Changes are paced to each person's comfort and goals rather than a fixed formula.

The biography does not specify session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy weeks, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It can also let people use approaches like ACT or CBT from home or work when that helps with consistency. Discuss format preferences when matching and scheduling so sessions fit daily life.
