Louise Wood

Louise Wood is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with seven years' experience supporting people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or lost. She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, anger and problems that follow trauma or abuse. She aims to work alongside each person, recognising their strengths and what they already know about their life.

Her approach starts from the view that clients know their story best. Sessions focus on listening, unfolding what matters, and finding practical steps that fit daily life. Louise encourages small, manageable changes so progress feels achievable rather than overwhelming.

She draws on client-centred ways of working to keep conversations grounded in the person's goals and values. Elements of existential thinking help when people want to make sense of big life questions or find more meaning. Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice patterns from the past that repeat in the present.

Louise has experience supporting people facing relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to ADHD. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment worries, control struggles and the impact of domestic violence or bereavement.

Sessions are delivered in English and run through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients are invited to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Louise's approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's priorities at the heart of sessions and focuses on empathic listening and clarity about goals; this helps when someone needs straightforward support for stress, anxiety or anger. Existential Therapy looks at meaning and choice, which can be useful for people facing big life changes or feelings of emptiness. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns from the past that influence present behaviour and can help uncover repeating reactions, such as control struggles or attachment difficulties.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approach or combination feels most helpful. That choice is revisited as needs and goals change, so the plan can adapt over time.

Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy days and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from elsewhere in the UK, and can suit people who prefer a shorter check-in or a session without being on camera. Specific session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current session options before booking to ensure they fit your needs and daily routine.
