About Louise

Louise Fineberg is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people manage painful life events. She draws on nine years of professional experience and works in English from the United Kingdom. Louise encourages people to recognise their own strengths when facing hard situations.

She helps with relationship difficulties and problems linked to trauma and abuse. Grief and loss are areas she often supports, along with low self-esteem, depression, addictions and sleeping problems. Louise also offers help around concerns such as body image, chronic illness and managing the after-effects of separation.

Louise describes her role as listening and guiding rather than telling people what to do. She focuses on building a trusting working relationship so people can talk through their worries at a comfortable pace. Practical steps and reflective conversation are used together to find what fits for each person.

Her approach includes client-centred work, which places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. She also uses mindfulness-based ideas to help with grounding and managing distressing thoughts. Psychodynamic thinking is part of her practice too, helping people consider how past patterns influence current feelings.

Starting therapy with Louise involves a short matching process and scheduling a session. She accepts clients internationally and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. If you want to begin, follow the site's Start Therapy button and complete the brief questionnaire to be matched and booked.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the person's lead to build understanding. This approach is helpful for relationship strain, low self-esteem and feeling overwhelmed.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. These exercises can help with sleep problems, anxiety after trauma and moments of craving linked to addictions. They are brief practices that suit short check-ins as well as longer conversations.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and how past experiences affect current feelings. This can be useful for understanding persistent relationship difficulties, grief reactions and repeated unhelpful behaviours.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as things change.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows work to continue for people living outside the immediate area. The therapist's available session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the specific options offered when booking to make sure they suit your routine.
