About Louise
Louise Fineberg is a counsellor who follows a client-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She works in the United Kingdom and brings nine years of experience to sessions. Louise speaks English and accepts clients from other countries as well.
She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and problems with sleep. She also supports people facing low self-esteem, depression and addictions. Louise pays attention to practical day-to-day problems as well as deeper emotional patterns.
Background and approach
In the therapy room she starts by listening closely to each person's story. She helps people notice their own strengths and uses that as a base for change. Sessions are guided by the client’s needs rather than a fixed agenda.
Louise draws on mindfulness practices to help with stress, sleep and grounding. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences can shape current behaviour and relationships. These approaches are mixed to suit what the person wants to work on.
She has worked with additional issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, chronic illness, fertility and eating-related concerns. People can expect a calm, respectful style and time to talk things through at their own pace.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centred therapy puts the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the person's priorities, helping them find their own solutions and build on strengths. This approach suits relationship problems, low self-esteem and decisions about life changes.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings. Small practices can reduce stress, help with sleep and make emotional ups and downs easier to manage. Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier life experiences shape current patterns and relationships, which can help when similar difficulties keep repeating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Louise will work with each person to decide what fits. This is a collaborative process - goals and methods are chosen together and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when reading facial expression matters, phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to connect from different locations.
