About Louisa

Louisa Johnson is a therapeutic counsellor who focuses on helping people reclaim better sleep, calm and confidence. She creates a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about stress, low mood, relationship strain and sleeping problems. Her approach aims to help people notice what already works for them and build practical steps forward.

Louisa uses a client-centred way of working, so sessions are shaped around each person’s priorities and pace. She draws on three years of practice in the United Kingdom and adjusts conversations to suit what a person needs most in that moment. This may include practical coping ideas for sleep disruption and ways to manage anxiety day to day.

In sessions she focuses on clear, manageable steps. That might mean helping someone set healthier boundaries, try new self-care habits, or rehearse different ways of speaking up. She encourages people to recognise their strengths and to build small routines that support rest and recovery.

Louisa has supported people through grief, workplace strain, compassion fatigue and trauma-related concerns as well as issues with self-esteem and motivation. She pays attention to how life changes affect sleep and daily energy, and she works with clients to untangle those connections.

Therapy with Louisa is collaborative and paced to individual needs. She invites people to explore their goals, test practical strategies and reflect on what helps their wellbeing over time.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what they hear and follows the client's lead to deepen self-understanding. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, anxiety, relationship strain and sleep difficulties by focusing on what each person finds most important.

Because Louisa works in a client-centred way, she treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will help clients identify goals, try different practical steps and adjust the plan as needed. Progress is measured by what feels useful to the client rather than by rigid milestones, making the process collaborative and flexible.

If you are considering online therapy, check the session formats available before booking since specific formats are not listed in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins during work breaks. It also lets people choose quieter times or lower-bandwidth options depending on what suits their day. Confirm current session options when you book to make sure they match your needs.
