Ways of working Louise names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In therapy this looks like gentle exploration of how you connect with others and learning new ways to feel safer in relationships. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and relies on active listening and empathy to help people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replaces them with practical strategies to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Louise listens to your concerns and goals and then suggests ways of working that fit your needs. You and the counsellor can try different tools and adjust the focus as you go, so therapy feels useful and personalised.

Online therapy offers flexibility across several formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full face-to-face style conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins or if writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and other routines while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
