Louisa Johnson, BACP, NCPS

Louisa Johnson is a counsellor who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She aims to help people rebuild self-esteem and find practical ways to cope. Louisa keeps sessions warm and non-judgemental so clients can talk honestly about what matters to them.

She uses a client-centred approach, shaping each meeting around the person in front of her. Sessions focus on listening, helping clients notice their strengths, and practising small steps that feel manageable. Louisa encourages people to set clearer boundaries and make choices that reflect their needs.

With three years of experience in the United Kingdom she has supported people through relationship difficulties, low motivation, depression and sleep problems. She also works with concerns such as caregiving stress, isolation and issues that often arise in midlife. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among the areas she focuses on.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Louisa helps people name the problems that cause distress and then works with them to find realistic ways forward. Therapy sessions aim to build confidence and reduce overwhelm.

To begin she invites a simple, honest conversation about what a client hopes to change. From there she and the client agree practical steps and review progress as they go. This makes therapy work that fits each person’s life and goals.

How client-centred therapy translates online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and building trust so people can explore what matters to them. In practice this means the counsellor offers empathic, non-judgemental listening and helps the client reflect on their feelings and choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, relationship worries and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will together choose what feels most helpful. That collaborative decision can include trying different ways of working until the best fit is found.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and avoiding travel time. If you are considering working remotely, confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings are held. Many people find online sessions make it simpler to keep continuity of support while juggling family, work and caring responsibilities.
