Louisa Addo-Williams
Practical, reflective therapy for life changes
About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a counsellor and psychotherapist with 13 years of practice and a BACP credential. She speaks English and Twi and offers online formats to people in the United Kingdom and beyond. Louisa provides a welcoming, calm space for people who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed.
She uses a mix of approaches to match each person's needs. That might mean focusing on values and practical action, looking at attachment patterns, or using client-centred listening to help someone feel heard.
Background and approach
Sessions often centre on clear, achievable steps as well as exploring deeper feelings. People come for help with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, or trauma and abuse. She also supports concerns such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment difficulties, chronic illness and caregiving strain. Louisa offers both short-term work for practical change and longer-term therapy for deeper reflection. Short courses or focused blocks can be used when someone wants rapid clarity or tools to manage a situation.
Longer therapy is available for those who want to explore patterns and history. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Costs depend on location and follow a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To start, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and arranges sessions using the Start Therapy button.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters most to the person and on small, practical steps that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, stress, depression and navigating life changes by shifting attention toward meaningful action rather than getting stuck in difficult thoughts.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns in connections and trust. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and offers ways to build different responses and stronger emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and past experience to choose methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined or adjusted over time to suit how a person responds.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when travel is difficult. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and are useful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be used for ongoing support, quick reflections, or if someone prefers writing over speaking. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these options to increase flexibility and accessibility for different needs.
