About

About Louisa

Louisa North is a counsellor who focuses on helping people handle stress, anxiety, grief, eating concerns, parenting issues and depression. She presents a steady, non-judgemental presence and encourages clients to take small, courageous steps towards change. Louisa uses plain language and practical conversation to make therapy approachable for worried parents.

She creates an open space where people can talk about difficult feelings and everyday struggles. Sessions commonly explore patterns around attachment, abandonment fears, guilt and shame, and isolation.

Background and approach

Louisa also supports those dealing with life purpose questions, midlife shifts, and mood disorders. Her approach emphasises collaborative goal-setting and simple, repeatable strategies people can try between sessions. That might include looking at unhelpful thinking, building self-compassion, or practical steps to ease family-related stress.

Louisa keeps explanations straightforward so parents can fit ideas into busy days. Louisa has five years of clinical experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with individuals who want clear, practical support rather than technical jargon.

Sessions are offered in English and Louisa accepts international clients. She offers several remote formats to suit different needs, and works with each person to decide what will be most useful for their situation.

Online support

How practical approaches meet online therapy

Louisa commonly uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques that focus on thinking patterns and self-compassion. Cognitive-style work helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of thinking. This can ease anxiety, social fears and low mood by breaking down problems into manageable steps.

She also uses approaches that build self-compassion and emotional understanding. These techniques help people reduce guilt and shame, strengthen self-care, and improve how they respond to stressful parenting moments or grief. Together these methods aim to create small, sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals and preferences, then try methods a step at a time. If something does not fit, adjustments are made so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video is good for deep conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or when hands-free time is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, paced conversations, or ongoing written reflection between sessions.
