Louise Eliadis

Louise Eliadis is a PACFA clinical counsellor with over 20 years working in mental health. She takes a grounded, person-centred approach and aims to make therapy practical and clear for people feeling overwhelmed. Her work often addresses stress, anxiety, anger, low self‑esteem, depression and life changes.

Louise uses plain language and simple tools so people can notice small changes quickly. Sessions often focus on helping people manage strong emotions and develop clearer ways to cope when life feels unfair or out of control. She pays attention to how the body and feelings connect when anxiety, anger or grief show up.

Her background includes teaching workshops across Australia on emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection. Over two decades she has worked with a broad range of issues including addiction concerns, attachment and family of origin problems, caregiving stress, impulsivity and isolation. This gives her practical experience to draw on in sessions.

Louise draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She blends these with client-centred listening to match methods to each person’s needs. Hypnotherapy and somatic techniques are also part of her toolkit when useful.

People who choose Louise can expect straightforward, calm support that focuses on emotional regulation and rebuilding day-to-day balance. She asks clear questions, offers manageable exercises and helps people try different ways of responding to stress and anger.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help when worry, anger or avoidance get in the way of everyday life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behaviour into small, changeable steps to reduce anxiety and depressive thinking. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and clearer communication when feelings feel intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Louise will work collaboratively to figure out which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. She often combines techniques, trying practical exercises in sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

The therapist's original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check‑ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue regular practice between sessions, use worksheets together on screen, and try grounding or breathing exercises in the moment.
