About Louise Waterfall
Louise Waterfall offers Psychophonetics counselling as a short-term, focused option for people seeking clearer direction and deeper self-understanding. Psychophonetics Counselling is delivered over a maximum of 12 weekly sessions, designed to help clients explore their inner experience and develop greater self-empathy. She approaches each presenting issue as an opportunity for personal growth, helping clients identify their current "growing point" and working collaboratively to discover what will support progress.
Drawing on somatic awareness, gesture, visualisation and imagination, Louise integrates self-empathy exercises into sessions so clients can connect bodily sensation with emotion and meaning. This embodied work supports exploration of topics such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationships, parenting, career concerns, depression and coping with life changes. Additional areas of focus include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, eating-related concerns, guilt and shame, and end-of-life and hospice matters.
Louise is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings 12 years of clinical experience working with adults. Her style is collaborative and person-centred, helping people navigate difficult emotions and practical challenges while identifying steps for meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and the benefits of online work
Louise uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the client’s experience guides the work - this approach helps people build self-understanding, confidence and clearer decision-making when facing stress, relationship difficulties or life transitions. She also integrates somatic therapy, attending to bodily sensations and movement so that emotion and physical experience can be explored together; this is useful for trauma, anxiety, and reclaiming embodied confidence. When appropriate, elements of existential therapy are included to help clients examine meaning, choice and responsibility in the face of change or loss.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Louise works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the blend of client-centred, somatic and existential techniques as the work unfolds. This collaborative process helps ensure therapy feels relevant and tailored to the individual.
Online delivery - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offers practical flexibility and greater access to consistent support regardless of location. These formats allow clients to arrange sessions around work, family and mobility needs, making it easier to maintain momentum and engage with therapy in a way that suits their life.
