About Louise

Louise Waterfall offers Psychophonetics Counselling in a focused, short-term format that runs for a maximum of 12 weekly sessions. This way of working is designed to help people come to know themselves more deeply and to develop greater self-empathy, creating a clearer pathway for making changes and moving forward.

She treats each challenge as an opportunity for growth, working with clients to identify their emerging "growing point" and then exploring what practical and emotional support is needed to facilitate development in that area. Her sessions include self-empathy exercises that draw on somatic awareness, gesture, visualisation and imagination to strengthen the link between bodily experience and emotional insight.

Louise holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and brings a measured, supportive approach to work with issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, eating and body image concerns, and coping with life changes and caregiver stress. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients, adapting pace and focus to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Louise draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a warm, accepting space where clients lead the pace and focus of the work; this approach helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding and strengthen self-worth. She also integrates Somatic Therapy techniques that tune into bodily sensations and movement, using somatic awareness and gesture to access emotions that are stored in the body and to support processing of trauma, stress and grief. Where helpful, Louise brings in Existential Therapy ideas to examine questions of meaning, choice and responsibility, supporting clients facing life transitions, emptiness or profound loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Louise works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting interventions as the relationship and understanding develop. Clients are invited to explore options and shape the process together with the therapist.

Online therapy with Louise is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to attend regularly, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with registered professionals and therapists.
