About Louise
Louise Ralph is a BACP-registered counsellor with eight years' experience working from just outside London. She offers daytime, evening and Saturday daytime sessions and sees people for a wide range of mental and physical health concerns. Sessions are available by telephone and video.
Louise helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues. Other areas she works with include sleep and eating concerns, self-esteem, career stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her way of working draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centred approaches. That means she focuses on emotions and attachment patterns, while keeping the person's own goals central. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills are also used when helpful for coping strategies and practical problem solving.
Louise began counselling through bereavement volunteering at St Christopher's hospice and continues to offer services connected to hospice work. She also works with employee assistance programmes as an associate telephone counsellor. These roles inform her work with people facing illness, caregiver stress and life transition.
In sessions she aims to build a clear, trusting working relationship and to help clients talk through what matters to them. Practical tools and emotion-focused conversations are blended so people can try different ways of coping between meetings. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session through the online booking flow.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to feelings and the patterns that keep people stuck. In online work this means naming hard-to-reach emotions and looking at how those feelings shape reactions and relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early bonds influence current connections and emotional responses, helping people notice recurring patterns in relationships and self-regulation. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the client's perspective central, with the counsellor listening closely and following the person's pace and priorities.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether EFT, attachment work or client-centred listening best fits the presenting concerns and goals. They may also bring in CBT or DBT-based skills when practical strategies are needed.
Sessions are offered by telephone and video, so confirm the exact options when you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time for those juggling work and family. Registered professionals can adapt their methods to the online setting and help clients develop tools they can use between sessions.
