About Louise
Louise Eliadis is a Clinical Counsellor and PACFA-registered practitioner with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Louise writes plainly and sees practical steps as part of each session.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions focus on understanding strong emotions, naming what is happening, and trying small changes that make daily life easier. Louise also draws on hypnotherapy and somatic ideas where they fit the person’s goals.
Clients come to her for help with attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, commitment and control issues, and problems rooted in family of origin. She also works with people dealing with substance use, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, impulsivity and isolation. Her background includes designing workshops across Australia on emotional regulation and somatic connection.
Louise aims to help people regulate difficult feelings and rebuild a steadier sense of self. In sessions she mixes talking, simple skills practice, and body-focused exercises when useful. People who prefer clear, practical steps alongside reflective work often seek her approach.
Her qualifications include a Master of Health Sciences (Sexual Health), a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology). She holds PACFA clinical membership and works in Australia offering sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name strong emotions and the relationship patterns linked to them. It focuses on feeling, describing what happens in emotional moments, and testing different ways of connecting with those feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that matter to the person. ACT is useful for anxiety, avoidance and coping with change. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises an open, non-directive stance where the person’s own goals guide the sessions and the therapist follows what matters most to the client.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options and tries methods that fit a person’s goals, preferences and practical needs. That helps shape a plan rather than locking into a single model from the start.
The original biography does not specify which online formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use video or audio depending on what suits them, and make it straightforward to continue work after relocation within Australia. Appropriately qualified counsellors and therapists can adapt these approaches to an online setting and will discuss what will work best during the first conversation.
