About Louise

Louise Davies is a counsellor who aims to help people facing tough life moments. She works with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and coping with health challenges. She also supports people dealing with neurodiversity, parenting pressures and questions about identity. Louise speaks English and some Hebrew and practices from the United Kingdom.

Louise uses a person-centred approach, which means she focuses on building a genuine connection and listening without judgement. She also draws on attachment-based ideas to understand how past relationships affect current ones. Louise may use psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time when that helps the person make sense of things.

Her style is gentle and collaborative. Sessions often start by talking about what feels most urgent, and then move at a pace the person finds comfortable. Sometimes the discussion looks at how past events link to current feelings, and sometimes it focuses on practical ways to cope right now.

Louise has four years’ experience and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. She has lived experience with many of the issues she supports people through, and she has lived in Israel for a period, which informs her understanding of some cultural and language needs.

People who choose to work with Louise usually get a space that aims to be warm, respectful and non-directive. If you want to explore changes slowly and with someone who listens, she aims to walk alongside you as you work through what matters most.

How these approaches translate to online support

Louise uses person-centred work to focus on what the client brings to a session, offering a listening space and gentle reflection to help people feel understood and to decide what to work on next. Attachment-based ideas are used to notice patterns from early relationships that show up now, which can help with difficulties in current relationships and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is often part of the early conversations. Louise will collaborate with each person to identify whether listening, looking at past patterns, practical coping strategies, or a mix of these feels most helpful. That decision evolves from session to session based on what is useful and doable for the client.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time and making it easier to attend from different locations. Because the exact session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the available formats before booking so you know what will suit your routine. Registered or accredited professionals such as Louise can often adapt pace and style to suit shorter check-ins, longer exploration, or a mix depending on what helps you manage day-to-day life.
