About Louisa Addo-Williams

Louisa Addo-Williams is a BACP-accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with 13 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and young people from a range of backgrounds. She creates a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients can explore stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, depression, and other challenges while developing practical strategies to move forward. Her BACP accreditation means she is recognised by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting a commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Louisa combines a reflective, client-centered style with solution-focused techniques, helping people uncover limiting beliefs, process difficult emotions, and build resilience. She offers both short-term work - sometimes as few as six sessions for clarity and immediate tools - and longer-term therapy for deeper healing and self-discovery. In addition to individual therapy, she facilitates couples workshops called "Bridging the Gap: Practical Communication for Couples," which provide hands-on practice to improve connection and resolve real-time conflicts.

Her practice is flexible to accommodate different needs, including early morning appointments from 6:00 AM and a range of session formats. Louisa works collaboratively with each person to tailor therapy to their goals, whether addressing parenting and family issues, managing workplace stress, coping with trauma, or navigating major life transitions. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and provides services in English and Twi.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Louisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside client-centered principles to guide her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and taking practical steps toward a meaningful life; it is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how they influence current connections, making it useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy issues, and patterns of avoidance or dependency. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic, non-directive support to build self-understanding and personal agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Louisa approaches this collaboratively. She works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on personal goals, access therapy from different locations, and choose the format that best supports each phase of the therapeutic process.
