Louisa Addo-Williams , BACP

Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP counsellor with 13 years of experience. She offers a calm, practical way of working for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. Sessions focus on clear steps and honest conversation rather than jargon. She speaks English and Twi and practises from the United Kingdom.

Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with attachment-informed and client-centred ways of working. That means she helps people notice what matters to them, understand relationship patterns, and make choices that match their values. She also draws on psychodynamic and existential ideas to look at deeper life themes when needed.

Louisa supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. She also helps with relationship and intimacy questions, career concerns, parenting strain and issues linked to chronic illness or caregiving. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, and challenges around blended family arrangements or separation.

Sessions can be short-term for practical goals or longer-term for deeper reflection. Louisa uses a mix of solution-focused techniques and reflective work to create straightforward plans and new ways of relating. She pays attention to patterns from the past while staying focused on useful steps for today.

People can expect a warm, respectful space where the aim is clearer thinking and more workable choices. The work is collaborative, with an emphasis on what the person wants to change and how to get there.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions towards those values. Online ACT sessions often focus on practical exercises, values work and simple behavioural steps to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at repeating relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current connections. In remote sessions this approach can help people notice triggers, practice new ways of relating and rehearse different responses to intimacy or conflict.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor uses open questions and reflective listening so the person can make sense of their feelings and decide on next steps. This is useful for people seeking a steady, empathetic space to think things through.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then test methods together. That collaborative process helps find what fits and allows changes as therapy progresses.

Online formats - video, phone, live chat or text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people read body language and work more directly. Phone sessions can be quicker and use less bandwidth. Chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options increase flexibility and help maintain continuity across time zones and locations.
