About Louisa
Louisa Harris helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, exhausted or stuck. She focuses on grief, anxiety, stress and depression. She also supports those facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting and family pressures, career strain, and the challenges of ADHD and chronic illness.
Louisa works with people who are coping with trauma, abuse, eating and body image issues, and compassion fatigue. Louisa is a BACP counsellor, which means she holds a professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
She has five years of clinical experience and practises in the United Kingdom. Her style is down-to-earth and direct, with an emphasis on practical steps you can use between sessions. She offers a conversational approach that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about.
Sessions are a space to make sense of confusing feelings, try out new ways of relating, and build small routines that reduce overwhelm. Louisa tailors her work to the person in front of her rather than applying a single method to everyone. Clients can expect a mix of talking, problem-solving and action-focused tasks.
Louisa pays attention to attachment and abandonment concerns, issues around sexuality such as BDSM and kink, and neurodiversity including autism and Asperger syndrome. She also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, cancer and caregiver stress. Beginning therapy with Louisa involves a short online questionnaire to match needs, then booking sessions that suit the client.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best for them.

Online support
She also pays attention to attachment and abandonment issues, helping people understand repeating relationship patterns and try different ways of connecting. This work can ease intimacy problems and improve communication by focusing on small, concrete shifts in behaviour.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Louisa will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and adapt methods as therapy progresses. The aim is to find what fits the person rather than use a single technique for everyone.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are close to face-to-face and allow visual contact and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be shorter check-ins when time is tight. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or who need flexible, ongoing support between calls.
