About Louise
Counsellor and member of BACP, Louise Fineberg has nine years of experience working with people in the United Kingdom. She focuses on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and sleeping problems. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Louise works from a person-centred view. She treats the client as the expert on their own life and uses their strengths to guide sessions. In practice this means listening, reflecting and helping clients decide what to try next rather than giving instructions.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage overwhelming feelings and slow down racing thoughts. These are practical exercises that can be practised between sessions to support daily life. Psychodynamic ideas are part of her approach too, looking at past events and patterns that still affect how someone thinks and acts now.
Louise has supported people through grief, relationship breakdowns, trauma and problems with motivation and confidence. She has also worked with issues linked to long-term illness, body image, addiction and family difficulties. Her background offers a mix of talking, noticing patterns and short practical exercises.

How her approaches work in online counselling
Client-centred therapy involves listening and reflecting to help a person decide what matters most to them. It focuses on the client’s own goals and uses their strengths to move forward.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and feelings without getting carried away by them. These exercises can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing urges linked to addiction.
Psychodynamic ideas look at recurring patterns and past experiences that shape current behaviour. Talking about these patterns can clarify why certain reactions keep happening and suggest new ways of responding.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss which methods suit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as sessions progress. This is decided together based on problems, goals and personal preference.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into work or family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they work in remote sessions, helping people practise between meetings.
