Therapeutic approaches for online support
Louise uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. This approach can be helpful for issues like chronic health challenges, grief and low motivation. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to foster self-understanding and confidence. That approach suits concerns such as parenting stress, relationship changes and self-esteem work. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to teach simple awareness practices that reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation, which can benefit ADHD-related challenges and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Louise works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Sessions are tailored and adjusted over time to ensure the most helpful combination of techniques.
Online therapy with Louise is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limitations or those living outside the UK. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel.
