Louisa Addo-Williams, BACP

Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of practice. She offers a calm, straightforward style and helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and big life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Twi and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Louisa focuses on practical tools alongside reflection. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred methods to help people notice what matters and take small steps towards it. She also draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices.

Her aim is to make therapy usable in day-to-day life. That might mean short-term work of around six sessions for focused goals or longer-term work for deeper exploration. She offers flexible appointment times to suit different schedules, including early morning slots.

Louisa has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, grief, bipolar conditions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and workplace stress. She also helps with issues such as abandonment, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and communication problems.

Her style is direct but warm. She asks reflective questions, helps clients sift through emotions, and co-designs strategies they can use between sessions. The site matching process starts by asking a few questions, then scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to identify what matters to them and take small, values-based steps despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety and navigating life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice repeated ways of relating that cause pain. This approach can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns and communication patterns.

Finding the most helpful approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and together decide which methods to use. That means the plan can change as understanding grows, and the client helps shape the focus of sessions.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as avoiding travel, making use of shorter appointment windows, or taking an early morning slot. It also allows follow-up between sessions to focus on practical exercises and reflections that support progress at home or at work.
