About Louise
Louise Fineberg is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people facing relationship strain, grief, depression and low self-esteem. She draws on nearly a decade of practice to listen, reflect and guide conversations so people can find their own direction. Her work is practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on building on what already works for each person.
Her main focus includes relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions and sleeping problems.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, cancer, body image concerns and fertility challenges. Louise helps people who feel overwhelmed by life changes, loss or repeated patterns that reduce their wellbeing. Louise blends client-centred listening with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas.
Mindfulness skills help people notice thoughts and feelings without becoming flooded by them. Psychodynamic thinking looks at past patterns that repeat and the meanings behind them. Sessions are a chance to talk through problems, try new ways of responding and reflect on progress.
She works in plain language and aims to make each session feel manageable and focused. Small steps and practical strategies are often used alongside deeper emotional work. She holds BACP, which is listed as her professional credential.
Louise works with English-speaking clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients when arrangements allow.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening and following each person's priorities. In online work this means the counsellor mirrors concerns, asks clarifying questions and helps clients set the pace for change. It suits people who want a collaborative, respectful space to make sense of their situation.Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple exercises to notice thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations. Online sessions can include guided breathing, grounding exercises and short practices to use between appointments, which often helps with anxiety, sleep and stress management.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences shape current patterns. Even in remote appointments this can uncover repeated ways of relating and offer new perspectives on long-standing problems such as relationship difficulties or recurring low mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, try methods together and adjust the plan based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where client preferences guide which tools are used.
Online formats provide practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, shorter check-ins or more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity when travel or schedules change.
