About Louise
Louise Davies is a BACP-registered counsellor who offers calm, steady support for people facing relationship strain, grief, anxiety and life change. She welcomes people concerned about stress, sleep, self-esteem, parenting and LGBT issues. Sessions are available in English and Hebrew and she accepts international clients.
She brings four years' professional experience alongside personal lived experience of many common difficulties. That combination shapes a warm, patient style. In sessions she focuses on building a trusting connection first, then works at a pace the client can manage.
Background and approach
Louise uses a person-centred, client-focused way of working that puts the person's experience at the centre of each session. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present difficulties. Psychodynamic ideas may be used if exploring early patterns seems useful for understanding current problems.
Therapy can include talking about the past to understand present reactions, or practical coping strategies for day-to-day life. Louise aims to help people make sense of their feelings and to try new ways of relating to themselves and others. She describes her approach as gentle and non-directive, giving space for people to lead their own healing.
Her background includes time living in Israel and some Hebrew language skills, which inform her understanding of cultural and faith-related concerns. She is also training to become a counselling supervisor and continues to develop her practice and skills.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online therapy
The person-centred approach focuses on listening and following the client's lead, creating room for people to say what matters most and to set the pace for sessions. This helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and stress by giving people space to be heard.Attachment-based ideas look at how early bonds shape current reactions and closeness. Working this way can help people understand patterns around intimacy, abandonment and communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest whether person-centred work, attachment work or psychodynamic exploration seems most helpful. Clients and the therapist decide together how deeply to look at past patterns or whether to focus on practical coping strategies.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by saving travel time or allowing appointments around work or caregiving. Session options are not specified here, so confirm current formats when booking. Many people find remote sessions useful for steady weekly check-ins, shorter catch-ups when needed, or continuing work across moves or travel.
