About Louise
Louise Ralph makes space for people who are finding life hard and need a steady presence. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping clients name what's troubling them and find practical steps forward. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs.
Her approach blends relational work with techniques that help manage thoughts and feelings. Louise uses attachment-based and client-centred ways of working to build trust and safety in the therapeutic relationship.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioural ideas and elements from dialectical behaviour therapy to help with mood, anxiety and coping skills. Louise trained to a Diploma Level 4 and holds BACP registration, which reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom. She has practised for eight years across personal work and employee assistance programmes.
Earlier in her path she volunteered supporting bereavement at St Christopher's Hospice, which shaped her interest in grief and end-of-life issues. Her clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, grief and trauma, alongside concerns such as self-esteem, sleep and eating difficulties, relationship and intimacy challenges, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people facing career decisions, major life changes and chronic health issues. Sessions are available during daytime, evenings and Saturday daytime so people can fit therapy around work or family commitments. International clients may be supported in English.

Online support
Client-centred therapy offers a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace. The counsellor reflects and listens closely so clients can explore feelings and make sense of their own choices.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, used alongside these approaches, targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns with practical exercises. It is especially helpful for anxiety, depression and managing stress day to day.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Louise will discuss goals and preferences and suggest techniques that suit each person's needs. The process is collaborative and adapts over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions come by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit different lives. Video lets people work face to face when good bandwidth is available. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when movement or eyesight is a factor or when a quieter check-in is needed. Text-based options and live chat offer shorter, flexible ways to keep in touch between longer sessions.
