Louisa North, BACP

Louisa North works with a range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief and eating difficulties. She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters most to them. Louisa encourages small steps and practical changes to help people feel steadier day to day.

With five years of practice, Louisa has supported people dealing with parenting stresses and low mood as well as issues linked to attachment and abandonment. She also focuses on shame, guilt, loneliness and social anxiety. These areas often overlap, so she looks at how problems connect rather than treating each one in isolation.

Sessions are conversational and down to earth. Louisa listens closely, helps people name what’s happening, and works with them to try different ways of coping. She aims for clear, achievable goals so progress is easier to notice.

Her BACP credential means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Louisa practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted, so people outside the UK can enquire about working together.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Louisa supports people through decisions about next steps and how to manage setbacks along the way. To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling sessions according to the therapist's availability.

How evidence-based approaches adapt to online therapy

Many people use evidence-based therapeutic techniques to manage anxiety and mood problems. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying alternative, more balanced thoughts to reduce distress and improve mood. Behavioural methods emphasise simple experiments and routine changes, which can help with low mood, avoidance and social anxiety.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through what feels most useful, try things out together, and adjust the plan based on how the person responds and what they prefer. This helps make sure the work fits the individual's goals and day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online therapy often include easier fitting of sessions around work or family life and avoiding travel time. If you need quieter or quicker check-ins, discuss options when you arrange sessions. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the exact online or in-person options before booking to ensure they meet your needs.
