About Louise

Louise Davies is a counsellor who helps people facing sleep problems alongside stress, anxiety, relationship tensions and big life changes. She offers a calm presence for anyone feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start. Her style is gentle and patient, aimed at helping people find steadier sleep and better day-to-day coping.

She practises client-centred work, which means conversations focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of her. Louise may also draw on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. Psychodynamic perspectives are sometimes used to notice patterns that repeat over time.

Louise has four years of professional experience and holds accreditation with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She spent time living in Israel and speaks some Hebrew, so she can bring personal and cultural understanding to sessions when helpful. Her background includes lived experience with many of the issues she supports people through.

In practical work she balances exploring past influences with simple, present-focused strategies that can help sleep and daily routines. Sessions aim to build a working relationship first, then gently test what changes feel manageable. Progress is paced to the client, not rushed.

People describe her approach as warm and non-judgemental. She is currently training to be a counselling supervisor and continues to develop her practice. If sleep or rest is a concern, she can help you talk through what might improve it and try small, realistic steps together.

How these approaches shape online work

Louise uses client-centred, attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas in her practice and brings those approaches into online conversations. Client-centred work focuses on your concerns and builds a steady, non-directive relationship to explore sleep, anxiety and everyday worries. Attachment-based thinking looks at how early bonds influence how you cope now, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship issues that affect rest. Psychodynamic perspectives help spot repeating patterns so you can try different responses in day-to-day life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Louise will work collaboratively to find what fits your needs, goals and preferences. She listens to what helps you feel understood and adapts her way of working as you move forward together.

Session formats are not specified in her biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit conversations into a busy week, shorten a check-in when time is tight, or avoid travel so more time is spent on practical changes. Many people find that regular remote sessions help them keep routines and apply small sleep-related adjustments between meetings.
