About Louise

Louise Fineberg is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience. She works with people on relationship issues, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, self-esteem and motivation, and problems with sleep and addiction.

Louise believes the person seeking help knows their own story best. She uses that perspective to guide conversations and to help clients recognise strengths they already have. Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Her practice draws on client-centred ways of working, which put the client's experience at the centre of therapy. She also uses mindfulness approaches to help with stress, rumination and managing overwhelming feelings. Psychodynamic ideas can be used to look at how earlier patterns affect present behaviour.

Louise has worked across many kinds of difficulties, including body image and eating issues, chronic illness and pain, fertility stress, and challenges around communication and commitment. She also supports people affected by domestic violence, substance problems, hoarding, and the emotional fallout of separation.

Sessions are conducted in English and Louise accepts work from people based in other countries as well. To begin, prospective clients follow an online matching questionnaire and then arrange a first appointment through the booking options provided.

How her approaches translate to online working

Client‑Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. In practice this means conversations that let the person lead and identify what feels most important to change or understand. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that help with anxious thinking, rumination and sleep problems. These exercises can be used between sessions to manage day‑to‑day stress. Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns and histories that shape current reactions, which can help when people notice the same difficulties repeating in relationships or behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Louise will discuss options with the client and together they will decide what to try first, adapting as needs and preferences become clearer. The process is collaborative and aims to match methods to the person's goals rather than stick to a single model.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around employment, caregiving or travel. It also allows for shorter check‑in sessions, sessions without video when bandwidth is limited, or scheduling that suits different time zones. Registered or accredited professionals can help you choose what will fit your routine and needs.
