Louise Davies

Louise Davies is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She welcomes people dealing with relationship strain, anxiety, grief, life changes and questions about identity. She also supports those navigating neurodiversity and the practical challenges that can follow a diagnosis. Sessions are offered in English and Hebrew.

Louise draws on four years of practice and her own lived experience when supporting clients. She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on building a warm, non-judgemental connection. This creates space to speak openly and begin to make sense of painful feelings.

Therapy can include looking at past experiences to understand present patterns. It can also focus on practical strategies for coping with day-to-day problems, sleep difficulties, stress and work worries. Louise aims to move at a pace that feels manageable for each person.

She also uses ideas from attachment-based and psychodynamic approaches to explore emotional patterns and relationship difficulties. These approaches can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related struggles.

Louise spent time living in Israel and speaks some Hebrew, which can help those with connections to that culture. She is training to be a counselling supervisor and continues to develop her practice through experience and study.

How these approaches work online and in therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they may feel anxious or avoidant in close relationships and can clarify patterns that affect intimacy and trust.

A client-centred approach prioritises the person's own experience. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and follows the client's pace, which can help when dealing with anxiety, grief or identity questions.

Psychodynamic ideas look at how past events influence present feelings and behaviour. This can be useful for uncovering recurring patterns, understanding abandonment worries, and making sense of deep emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the focus can shift as needs change.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make sessions possible for people living abroad or far from services, while keeping the practical aim of making therapy work around daily life.
