About Louise
Louise Ralph is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people facing sleep problems and other life stresses. She sees individuals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, low mood, relationship strain, or difficulties with concentration and rest. Louise writes plainly and listens carefully to understand what is most pressing for each person.
Louise holds a Diploma Level 4 in therapeutic counselling and psychotherapy and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has eight years of experience working in private practice near London and with workplace support services. She combines person-centred work with psychodynamic ideas to shape sessions around what the client needs.
In sessions she focuses on building a steady, trusting relationship first. That lets clients talk about what keeps them awake or restless, and about wider issues such as trauma, addictions, eating concerns, or parenting stress. Louise uses practical skills alongside reflective talking work to help people try new ways of coping and resting.
She offers telephone and video appointments, including daytime, evening and Saturday daytime slots. Louise also provides counselling through employee assistance programmes and continues to volunteer with hospice bereavement support.
Her approach is warm and collaborative. Clients can expect a mix of listening, problem-solving and emotion-focused work aimed at helping them feel more able to manage sleep and daily demands.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how past relationships shape current trust and rest. In practice this means talking about patterns in relationships, noticing how those patterns affect sleep and safety, and trying small changes in how the client relates to others to ease worry and over-alertness.Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own solutions for better routines, boundaries, and rest habits.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. In sessions this can mean testing unhelpful thoughts about sleep, experimenting with new bedtime habits, and practising short behavioural techniques to reduce night-time worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will discuss different methods and help decide collaboratively what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel and making evening or Saturday appointments easier to reach. Telephone and video sessions are offered by this therapist, so practical choices can be discussed when booking. If you prefer a particular session format, confirm the available options before scheduling so they match your daily routine.
