Louise Fineberg

Louise Fineberg is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach. She uses a collaborative style that treats the client as the expert in their own life. Her work often focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and motivation, and problems with sleep and addictions.

She draws on nine years of professional experience and carries the BACP credential, which is listed as part of her background. Louise aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk about what is worrying them and make small, practical changes.

Her way of working blends client-centred listening with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. That mix helps people slow down, notice patterns, and name feelings. Sessions might include guided awareness exercises, reflective conversation about past experiences, and looking at how current relationships affect mood.

Louise also pays attention to related areas that often complicate emotional health. These include body image concerns, chronic illness and pain, fertility and cancer-related issues, communication and commitment worries, and problems linked to addiction or hoarding. She aims to help people untangle these alongside the main concern.

If someone is unsure how to begin, Louise encourages taking a small next step. She supports people through the initial sign-up and matching process, then helps set goals and decide what to focus on in therapy.

How Louise uses her approaches in online therapy

Louise draws on client-centred practice and mindfulness alongside psychodynamic ideas to guide online work. Client-Centred Therapy centres on listening and following what the person brings, which helps with relationship and self-esteem concerns by prioritising the client's perspective. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and relationship patterns, useful for trauma, grief and repeated difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Louise works collaboratively to decide what fits best for each person, adjusting methods as goals and needs become clearer. She encourages people to try small steps and feed back about what helps or what feels difficult.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allowing sessions without travel and the ability to schedule around work or family commitments. It can also allow different styles of check-in, such as shorter conversations when time is tight or longer reflective sessions when more space is needed.
