About Louise

Louise Davies is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and life changes. She also supports those dealing with ADHD, intimacy issues and concerns related to sexuality and identity. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and she accepts international clients.

Louise draws on person-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches. That means she focuses on building a steady working relationship, listening closely and helping people notice patterns that affect them now. She may look at past experiences to understand present reactions, or use practical steps to address current problems such as sleep loss, overwhelm or difficulty socialising.

Many referrals mention relationship difficulties, parenting stress, bereavement or the strain of long-term health conditions. Louise also works with people exploring neurodiversity and those navigating kink and alternative sexual cultures. Her background living in Israel and speaking some Hebrew can be useful for people with similar cultural ties.

In sessions she aims to be non-directive and respectful, letting conversations unfold at a pace that suits each person. She combines reflective listening with occasional interventions that help people try new ways of relating or managing anxiety. The focus is practical - clearer thinking, steadier emotions and better day-to-day coping.

To begin, people are invited to use the site's matching process and book an initial appointment. The counsellor may then agree ongoing work and review progress together.

How Louise uses attachment, person-centred and psychodynamic ideas online

People can expect work rooted in attachment-based thinking, which looks at how early relationships shape how someone connects now and can help with anxiety, trust and intimacy problems. Client-centred practice focuses on listening, acceptance and following the person's agenda so conversations unfold at a comfortable pace and lead to clearer self-understanding. Psychodynamic ideas help notice recurring patterns and how past events affect current feelings and reactions, useful for grief, relationship strain and longstanding anxieties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together decide whether to focus more on present coping, past exploration, or both. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made as the sessions progress.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and avoiding travel that can make attending harder. If you need to manage time around work, medical appointments or caregiving, online sessions can make that easier. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm the current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals vary in how they run remote work, and the counsellor will explain the session format when you arrange your first appointment.
