About Louise
Louise Ralph is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through difficult moments. She offers straightforward, calm conversations for those coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting pressures. Sessions are available by phone, video, chat or messaging, and she works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
Louise uses a mix of approaches so the work fits the person rather than a single technique.
Background and approach
She draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships. Client-centred methods mean sessions stay focused on what matters most to the individual. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to tackle problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleep and eating issues.
Her background includes volunteer bereavement support at St Christopher's hospice and roles with employee assistance programmes. That experience contributed to a practical way of working with grief, stress, and life transitions. Louise also sees concerns such as addiction, trauma, LGBT issues, ADHD and parenting challenges.
Louise holds BACP accreditation, which appears in her professional details. She runs a independent practice just outside London and balances that with telephone counselling for organisations. Appointments are offered daytime, evenings and Saturday daytime to suit different schedules.
In sessions she aims to build a trusting, warm relationship and to help people feel more able to move forward. The work combines listening, reflection and practical strategies so clients can make changes that fit their lives.

How therapy approaches translate to online support
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how past experiences affect current bonds; online sessions can help people notice and change those patterns through conversation and reflection. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's perspective and priorities, offering a non-judgemental space where the therapist follows the client's lead to explore what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Louise will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a client's goals and preferences, and may combine techniques from different approaches so the work feels personalised and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions and tone matters, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or need lower bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging is useful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
