About

About Louise

Louise Davies is a counsellor who welcomes people feeling overwhelmed by relationship tensions, grief, life changes, or daily stress. She speaks English and some Hebrew and draws on her own life experience to relate to clients who feel stuck or uncertain. She works in a calm, person-centred way that focuses on building a trusting connection.

Conversations are relaxed and plain; the aim is to help people notice what is happening for them and to find ways to feel steadier.

Background and approach

Sessions may look at the past when that helps explain present patterns, or focus on practical steps for now and the future. Louise trained in person-centred counselling and holds BACP registration, which she uses alongside four years of practice. She has supported people with anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties, grief, and issues linked to identity and neurodiversity, including ADHD and autism.

Parenting concerns are part of what she helps people talk through. Her approach draws on attachment ideas and psychodynamic thinking while remaining client-led. That means the pace is set by the person in therapy and the counsellor follows their lead, offering reflections and questions rather than directives.

This helps people explore relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current responses. Sessions suit those who want a warm, non-judgemental space and a collaborative way of working. Whether someone needs short-term support for a specific problem or time to work through deeper patterns, she aims to walk alongside them while they make changes.

Online support

How Louise’s approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at the ways early bonds and relationship patterns affect how people feel and behave now. It can help with anxiety, intimacy worries, and difficulties in close relationships by naming patterns and offering new ways to connect.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and pace. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive, non-directive space to work things through.

Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeated patterns and hidden feelings that may be influencing current problems. Exploring those patterns can be useful for longer-standing issues and for understanding how past events shape present reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and will adapt methods as therapy progresses. This collaborative conversation helps tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep visual connection when that matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking.
