Louise Fineberg, BACP

Louise Fineberg is a UK-based therapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings nine years of professional experience to her practice. She works with people facing relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and challenges around motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, drawing on a respectful, strengths-based view of each person she supports.

Louise approaches therapy with the belief that clients are the experts in their own lives and that they hold resources that can help them move through difficult times. She creates a collaborative space where a person can explore their story, identify practical steps forward, and build on existing strengths to address recurring patterns and emotional challenges.

Beginning therapy can be a courageous decision, and Louise recognises that first step. She aims to offer steady, nonjudgmental support as people work toward clearer goals, improved coping, and greater self-understanding, tailoring her approach to each individual’s needs and pace.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Louise uses client-centered therapy to place the person at the heart of the work - the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and acceptance while helping the individual explore feelings and make choices that feel right for them. This approach is helpful for people seeking a supportive, non-directive space to process relationships, grief, or self-esteem concerns.

She also integrates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple attention and breathing practices that can reduce overwhelm and increase present-moment awareness. Mindfulness can support people dealing with anxiety, sleep difficulties, or the aftermath of trauma by strengthening coping skills and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work and Louise treats that as a collaborative process. She will discuss options with each client, drawing on their needs, goals, and preferences to decide together what methods to prioritise and how to pace the sessions.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy life or to connect across time zones. These options help people access registered professionals from where they are, maintain continuity between sessions, and choose formats that feel most comfortable for their situation.
