Therapeutic approaches for online support
Louis often draws on person-centred work, relational methods, and embodied somatic techniques to support clients online. Person-centred therapy focuses on listening with empathic understanding and helping people access their own resources for change - it is helpful for depression, anxiety, and self-esteem difficulties. Relational approaches explore patterns in relationships and attachment, which can be useful for intimacy concerns, family conflict, and relational trauma. Embodied or somatic work attends to the body’s responses to stress and trauma, offering ways to regulate physical and emotional reactions and to process trauma that may not be fully accessible through talk alone.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Louis works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adjust methods as required to ensure the work feels effective and appropriate.
Online therapy with Louis is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for scheduling, travel, and accessibility. These remote options make it possible to engage with registered professionals from different locations while maintaining continuity of care and adapting to each person’s day-to-day life.
