About Louisa
Louisa Addo-Williams is a counsellor who uses Existential therapy alongside practical approaches to help people make sense of difficult times. She draws on 13 years of experience and a BACP accreditation to offer steady, direct support for everyday struggles. Her manner is calm and straightforward, focusing on what feels most urgent for each person.
She works with common concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression and grief. Relationship and intimacy issues, workplace pressures and parenting strain are frequent topics in her sessions.
Background and approach
People also come for help with trauma, addiction-related patterns, ADHD and chronic health challenges. Her sessions mix reflective conversation with clear strategies. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts without being led by them.
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. Short-term packages are available for people who need quick focus and coping tools. Longer-term work is offered for those wanting deeper exploration and change over time.
Workshops on communication for couples are part of her practice as well. Sessions are offered in English and Twi and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that suits them.

Online support
How different approaches work in online therapy
Louisa combines Existential therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas to create a clear, flexible approach online. Existential therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and values when life feels confusing or overwhelming. It is useful for those facing major life changes, questions about purpose or intense uncertainty.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, then take small actions that match their values. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change repetitive ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and practical needs to decide which methods to use. That collaboration means sessions can shift to suit short-term goals or deeper exploration as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when audio-only contact is preferred, live chat allows a quicker check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving and travel, and help people fit support into everyday life.
