About Louise
Louise Wood is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure how to move forward. Louise believes people hold much of the knowledge they need to change, and she helps them access their strengths.
She uses a conversational, respectful way of working. Sessions are a place to talk through painful memories, difficult feelings and everyday pressures.
Background and approach
Louise aims to make the work practical so people can try things between sessions and notice small changes. Louise draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice to help people consider what matters to them. She also uses client-centred methods to listen openly and offer steady support.
Elements of psychodynamic thinking inform how she pays attention to past patterns that repeat in current life. Her background includes seven years working with clients across concerns such as addiction, grief, anger, relationship issues, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Louise is a BACP member, which means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Louise works from the United Kingdom and does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on availability.

Online support
How Louise’s approaches translate to online therapy
Louise uses Existential Therapy to help people reflect on meaning, choice and what they value. That approach can be useful for people facing life changes, feelings of emptiness or questions about direction. Client-Centred Therapy means she listens without judgement and follows the person’s lead to build trust and clarity. Psychodynamic ideas are used to identify recurring patterns that affect current relationships and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful during the first sessions. This collaborative way of working means approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different circumstances. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life, while keeping the focus on practical progress and connection.
