Louise Waterfall

Louise Waterfall is a counsellor with 12 years' experience who focuses on supporting people through strong feelings and life changes. She uses an approach that puts the client at the centre, and she offers practical ways to notice how emotions show up in the body and in day-to-day choices. Her work often helps when anger, grief, anxiety or stress feel overwhelming.

Louise frames difficulties as opportunities to learn about oneself. She aims to help people identify their next steps and the small changes that can make life more manageable. Sessions include exercises that build self-empathy and clearer self-understanding.

Her method brings together client-centred listening with existential questions about meaning and somatic practices that draw attention to bodily experience. That combination is used to help people feel more grounded and make decisions that match their values. Techniques include breath awareness, guided imagery and gentle movement to help process feelings.

Louise has worked with a wide range of concerns over more than a decade, including trauma and abuse, addiction, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, eating and body image issues, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with career stress, bereavement and complicated grief.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Louise's approaches work in online therapy

Louise uses client-centred work, existential inquiry and somatic awareness to guide her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on active listening and supporting people to find their own answers; it helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of feelings. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility, which can help when life changes or loss raise big questions. Somatic Therapy brings attention to the body's signals through breath, posture and gentle movement, and it can be useful for working with anger, trauma and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will work collaboratively to try different ways of working and to agree what helps most. Discussion about goals, preferences and what feels manageable guides the choice of techniques and exercises.

The original profile does not specify particular session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people value online work because it can fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins, and make it easier to attend from different locations. Online sessions also make it practical to continue work with an international counsellor when needed, while the content of sessions still focuses on noticing bodily experience, building self-empathy and making choices that fit everyday life.
