Louise Fineberg , BACP

Louise Fineberg works from a client-centred perspective to help people make sense of difficult feelings and life events. She often supports people dealing with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. Louise uses straightforward language and a calm style to help people feel heard and understood.

Louise has nine years of experience in counselling and works with issues such as depression, addictions and sleep difficulties. She also supports people facing body image concerns, chronic illness or chronic pain, fertility worries, and the emotional impact of cancer. Her work includes practical discussions about communication, commitment worries and separation.

In sessions she treats each person as the expert on their life and builds on existing strengths. Conversations focus on what matters now and on small, manageable steps forward. Louise aims to make the process feel approachable and realistic for people under pressure.

Her background includes using client-centred principles together with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to support change. That mix helps people to notice patterns, manage stressful moments, and build new ways of coping. Louise tailors the balance of talking, reflection and practical tools to each person's needs.

She offers therapy in English from the United Kingdom and works with people living elsewhere when that fits the therapy plan. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that suits the person.

How Louise blends approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the counsellor. It emphasises respect, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; it can be useful for relationship worries, low self-esteem and life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce overwhelm and manage strong emotions. It can help with anxiety, sleep problems and the stress that follows trauma.

Psychodynamic ideas look at patterns that repeat in a person's life and how past experiences shape current feelings. This perspective can support people who want to understand long-standing emotional patterns and how they affect relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which ways of working to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls let people see each other's expressions, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat offers short check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy or changeable lives.
