About Louise

Louise Eliadis is a counsellor with 20 years working in mental health. She combines practical tools with calm, down-to-earth support. People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also works with life changes and financial stress where money worries are part of the picture.

Louise uses a person-centred approach that focuses on what matters to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and take committed action. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and aspects of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy to improve emotion regulation and relationships.

Her sessions often focus on skills for managing intense feelings, reducing avoidance, and building small habits that make daily life easier. She pays attention to the body and to patterns that come from family of origin, attachment wounds and past abandonment. Workshop work around emotional regulation and somatic connection informs how she guides practical exercises in sessions.

Louise holds a Master of Health Sciences in Sexual Health, a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She is a PACFA-registered clinical member. Her background includes facilitating national workshops and supporting people through grief, separation and substance use concerns.

People who choose her can expect straightforward language, clear goals and a focus on what they want to change. She encourages small steps, regular practice and checking in about what is and isn’t helping.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small committed steps. Online ACT work typically involves values clarification, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and practising actions that match priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional experience and attachment patterns to improve how people respond to distressing feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Louise will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support practising skills between appointments and using worksheets or grounding exercises at home. Appropriately qualified therapists can tailor exercises and pacing to suit phone or video sessions if those formats are chosen.
