Louise Fineberg, BACP

Louise Fineberg is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people facing midlife change and other life challenges. She holds BACP registration, and she draws on nine years of practice to support people through difficult moments. Louise speaks English and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Louise listens first and then helps people find their own direction. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual, such as relationship difficulties, grief, or loss of confidence. She also addresses trauma and abuse, depression, addiction concerns, and sleep problems when these come up. Her work often involves gentle reflection on patterns that keep someone stuck. Louise uses psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present reactions. She also brings in mindfulness techniques to help people manage strong emotions and to notice thoughts without being overwhelmed by them. Practical goals are set together, so sessions stay relevant and manageable. People can expect straightforward conversation, thoughtful questions, and exercises to try between meetings. Louise emphasises strengths and small steps that build change over time. Choosing to start therapy can feel hard, and Louise aims to make that step easier. She asks a few questions at the start to match people to the right plan. From there, she works collaboratively so clients shape the pace and focus of their work.

How Louise's approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the individual's perspective and priorities. It involves open listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them make choices that feel right. This approach is useful for relationship issues, low self-esteem and navigating midlife changes.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body sensations without getting swept away by them. Techniques often include brief grounding exercises and attention practices that can reduce anxiety or help with sleep problems.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that come from past experiences and how they appear in current life. It can help when someone wants to understand recurring relationship patterns or the roots of emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made together as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping meetings consistent when travel is difficult. If you prefer a shorter check-in or need less screen time, discuss options when you book. Confirm the current session formats with the therapist before scheduling so you know what will be offered.
