Louise Wood, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help them find their own answers. Online sessions let the counsellor follow the client's lead and reflect back what matters to them, which supports self-awareness and confidence. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values and life choices and helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about their direction. This approach invites honest conversation about what matters most and can be useful for those facing major life changes or a loss of purpose. Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to recurring patterns and early relationships that influence current feelings. Online work can make it easier to notice these patterns in conversation and to try out new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Louise will work together with clients to identify what fits. She discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods as needed. The aim is to match practical coping strategies with deeper exploration when the client is ready.

Online formats offer practical flexibility: video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more accessible around work, family and day-to-day demands and allow people to choose what feels most manageable.
