Louise Davies

Louise Davies welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. She offers steady support for stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting concerns and life changes. Louise also works with those exploring neurodiversity, LGBT matters and challenges linked to health or long-term conditions.

She draws on four years of clinical experience and is a BACP member. Louise uses a person-centred stance to build a trusting connection. That gives people space to name what feels hard and begin to make small, practical changes.

When helpful, she looks at attachment patterns and past experiences to understand present relationships and emotional reactions. Louise also uses psychodynamic ideas to gently consider how earlier events might still shape thoughts and feelings today. Sessions can include time for reflection and straightforward coping strategies depending on what a person needs.

Louise lived in Israel for several years and offers therapy in English and some Hebrew. Her background means she can relate to cultural questions or faith-related concerns that matter to some clients. She aims to be warm, non-judgemental and collaborative in every session.

People usually start by describing their most pressing problem and working from there. Louise is training to be a counselling supervisor and continues to develop her practice. If you want a calm, attentive space to think things through, she may be a good fit.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online therapy

Louise works mainly from a person-centred base and draws on attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas when these suit the person. Person-centred work focuses on listening closely, reflecting feelings and helping people find their own way forward; it helps when someone needs acceptance and practical space to think. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, separation or repeated conflicts. Psychodynamic ideas help make sense of how past experiences link to present feelings and behaviour, which can be useful for recurring themes or longstanding difficulties.

Finding the right approach is treated as a joint task. The therapist will talk with each person about their situation and try small ways of working to see what feels most helpful. That collaborative tone means plans can change as goals become clearer and progress is made.

Please confirm current session options before booking as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also make shorter or more frequent sessions easier to arrange when that suits a person's schedule or goals.
