Louisa Harris, BACP

Louisa Harris is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom who works with adults experiencing chronic overwhelm and major life transitions. She specialises in supporting high-achieving people who present externally as coping well but internally feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or ready for change. Her practice often supports those managing ADHD, burnout, identity shifts, chronic illness, or medical-related trauma.

Louisa offers a personalised, integrative approach, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match interventions to each client’s needs. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, helping clients develop practical strategies, build resilience, and make sense of difficult experiences. With five years of professional experience, Louisa brings focused attention to issues such as anxiety, stress, relationships, trauma, and self-esteem.

She holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which represents counselling and psychotherapy professionals in the UK. Louisa recognises that starting therapy can take courage and she encourages people to reach out when they are ready so she can support them through the initial steps and beyond.

Integrative approaches and online support for overwhelm

Louisa uses an integrative approach that adapts evidence-based techniques to each person’s situation, combining practical strategies with reflective work to address symptoms and underlying patterns. This helps clients manage day-to-day overwhelm, improve concentration, and build coping skills for ADHD, anxiety, and stress.

She also works with trauma-informed principles, offering sensitive support for those affected by medical-related trauma, abuse, or other distressing experiences. This approach focuses on understanding how past events shape current reactions and on pacing the work to match what the client can manage.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Louisa collaborates with clients to identify goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as needs and preferences become clearer, so the chosen methods fit the person rather than the other way around.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent support around busy schedules or when leaving home is difficult. These formats provide flexibility and regular contact, helping clients maintain momentum between sessions and weave therapy into everyday life.
