Louisa Johnson, BACP, NCPS

Louisa Johnson welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps in life. She writes plainly and listens with warmth. Louisa helps clients rebuild self-worth, manage stress and find ways to express their needs more clearly.

She works from a belief that clients know their own story and brings three years of practice in the United Kingdom. Sessions focus on practical steps such as recognising existing strengths, setting healthier boundaries and developing clearer ways to communicate with others. The tone is straightforward and supportive rather than clinical.

Louisa often supports people with anxiety, low mood and issues around self-esteem. She also works with grief, sleep problems, anger and the emotional fallout from trauma and abuse. Workplace strain, compassion fatigue and difficulties around relationships are common themes she addresses.

Additional interests include ageing and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, caring stress, isolation, life purpose and sexuality. Louisa also helps clients facing midlife change, narcissistic dynamics, dependent personality patterns and social anxiety or phobia.

Her practice uses a client-centred approach, so sessions are shaped by each person’s pace and priorities. Conversations are guided by what matters most to the client, with practical ideas offered when useful.

To begin, she invites people to reflect on what they most want to change and to take a first small step towards that goal.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy, non-judgemental attention and reflection to help people understand their feelings and decide on next steps. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, relationship frustrations and finding clearer ways to express needs.

The right approach is often discovered together. The therapist will check what matters most, what has or hasn’t helped before, and agree on goals and ways of working. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they match the client’s pace and preferences.

The biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are used, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a brief conversation is all that’s needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional support.
