Louisa Addo-Williams

Louisa Addo-Williams is a counsellor and psychotherapist with BACP accreditation and 13 years of practice. She offers a calm, straightforward space for people who feel stuck, anxious, or unsure about their next steps. Her manner is direct but warm, helping clients spot practical changes they can try between sessions.

Louisa uses approaches that centre the person and their experience. She blends client-centred work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. This mix helps people notice patterns, work through painful feelings, and act on what matters to them.

She provides short-term work when people want a few sessions to get clarity and practical tools. She also works longer term for those seeking deeper change and processing. Louisa runs occasional couples workshops that focus on practical communication skills and real-time practice.

Her experience covers a wide range of concerns. These include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, LGBT issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, bipolar, ADHD and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, caregiver stress, chronic illness, divorce and separation.

Sessions are offered in English and Twi and she sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. To begin, visitors are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathetic listening and support while the client finds their own solutions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. Louisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. This is an ongoing conversation rather than a one-time decision, and approaches may be blended as the work progresses.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or early morning. It can also make shorter check-ins simpler when needed, or reduce the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
