About Louise
Louise Ralph offers calm, direct support for people facing stress, anxiety, addictions and life changes. She welcomes discussions about grief, relationship concerns, depression, parenting challenges and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Clients contact her for help with sleep or eating problems, ADHD, compassion fatigue and career worries.
Louise works by listening closely and helping people find practical steps to move forward. She draws on approaches that focus on emotions and attachment, and on talking in a way that centres the person rather than labels them.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and aim to make feelings and patterns clearer. Louise combines person-centred listening with ideas from cognitive and dialectical therapies when those tools suit the situation. Louise trained to Diploma Level 4 and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She has worked in counselling roles for eight years and has experience offering bereavement support and employee assistance telephone counselling. She delivers sessions by video and phone, and also uses live chat and text messaging for shorter contacts. Times include daytime, evening and Saturday daytime slots to fit different schedules.
Louise aims to build trust first so people feel safe to talk about hard things. She helps set realistic goals and gradually tests new ways of coping. The work is paced to each person’s needs and focuses on real-life change rather than labels.

Online support
How emotional and attachment approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their feelings and then use that awareness to change patterns that cause distress. It can be useful for anxiety, grief and emotional stuckness where understanding feelings is the key.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape reactions today. It helps people recognise unhelpful attachment patterns and try new ways of relating to themselves and others, which can ease loneliness and improve emotional regulation.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement and supports the client to find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful when someone needs space to make sense of difficult decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means therapy can shift if something is not helping.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat and text messaging to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity with therapy despite busy schedules.
