Louisa Addo-Williams, BACP

Louisa Addo-Williams works from a client-centred approach that aims to help people find clarity and practical ways forward. She combines reflective listening with focused strategies to support people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about their next step.

Louisa draws on a mix of short-term and longer-term work. She offers brief packages of around six sessions for those who want immediate strategies. She also provides longer therapy for people who want deeper exploration and lasting change.

Her background includes 13 years of practice and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That experience underpins her approach to common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems. She also works with issues like trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, and compassion fatigue.

She uses a range of therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, existential perspectives, psychodynamic listening, and solution-focused work. In sessions she asks open questions, helps identify values and goals, and supports practical steps clients can try between meetings.

Louisa offers sessions in English and Twi and accepts clients based in the United Kingdom and internationally. She aims to be flexible with scheduling and can accommodate early morning appointments. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to arrange a suitable time.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises patterns in relationships and early bonds to understand current difficulties with trust, intimacy, or closeness; it can help people who want to change how they relate to others. Client-Centred Therapy makes the person’s own experience central, using listening and empathy to help someone feel heard and work out their next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as new understanding and needs emerge.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time or by allowing earlier or later appointments. It can also allow a quieter check-in when a shorter conversation is needed, or make things simpler if someone prefers not to be on camera. Confirm the session formats offered before booking to match them with your routine and technology. Registered or accredited professionals will help shape a plan that suits daily life and therapeutic goals.
