About Louise

Louise Wood is a United Kingdom based therapist with seven years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and challenges to self-esteem and confidence. She works with individuals facing relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, ADHD, and a range of complex issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, and the emotional effects of first responder work. Louise combines practical support with an emphasis on each person’s existing strengths, helping clients identify the resources they already have and build new ways of coping.

Working from a compassionate, client-centered perspective, she treats clients as experts on their own lives and partners with them to set meaningful goals. Louise’s approach also draws on existential and psychodynamic ideas to explore how past experiences, core values, and underlying patterns shape current feelings and behavior. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK, and provides therapy in English.

Louise frames seeking help as an act of courage and a first step toward a more fulfilling life. She aims to support and empower people through change, offering tailored care that respects individual pace and priorities while focusing on practical progress and emotional insight.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and strengths. The therapist provides empathic listening and gentle guidance so clients can explore feelings, make choices, and build self-confidence - it is helpful for stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

Existential Therapy looks at personal meaning, values, and responsibility. It helps people facing questions about purpose, loss, or major life changes by encouraging honest reflection on what matters most and how to live more authentically.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence current emotions and behavior. This approach can be useful for understanding recurring difficulties, attachment issues, and unresolved trauma.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Louise works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the approach over time as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without long commutes, helping people maintain continuity of care while balancing other commitments.
