About Louise
Louise Davies is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, ADHD and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew and Louise accepts international clients.
She uses a person-centred approach which keeps the client's experience at the forefront. That means conversation often starts with what feels most pressing now. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Psychodynamic thinking may be used to consider past events that influence present emotions and behaviour.
Louise describes having lived experience of many of the issues she sees. She lived in Israel for some years and retains some Hebrew, which informs how she connects with people from similar backgrounds. Her practice includes supporting those facing bereavement, health-related difficulties, neurodiversity adjustments, and mid-life transitions.
In sessions she aims to build a straightforward, steady connection. Sometimes the focus stays on present coping and practical strategies. Other times she helps people gently explore earlier relationships and their impact now. She is also training to be a counselling supervisor.
People who come with difficult family dynamics, intimacy problems, sleep or self-esteem worries often start by talking through immediate concerns. Over time that can lead to clearer choices about relationships, parenting pressures, work stress and personal boundaries. Louise asks new clients to use a short questionnaire to match and arrange a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Louise draws on person-centred counselling, attachment-based ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Person-centred counselling focuses on the client's experience and aims to let people set the pace and topics of each session. It is useful for airing immediate problems and deciding what to tackle next. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and can help with intimacy issues and repeated conflicts. Psychodynamic thinking involves reflecting on past experiences that influence present feelings and behaviour, which some people find helpful for understanding long-standing patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together they will try different ways of working. That collaborative process helps clarify what feels most useful, whether short-term coping strategies or longer exploration of underlying patterns.
If you are considering remote sessions, please confirm current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets someone maintain contact while living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt these approaches to remote sessions, matching methods to what each person needs.
