About Louise
Louise Eliadis works from a person-centred approach that keeps the client's experience at the heart of therapy. She draws on practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. Louise has two decades of experience in the mental health field and brings calm, steady support to people facing tough life changes.
Louise focuses on helping people build emotional regulation skills and strengthen their sense of self.
How Louise works
She helps clients talk through grief, depression and the effects of trauma in ways that respect bodily responses as well as thoughts. Practical tools for coping with impulsivity, guilt and shame are a routine part of her sessions. Over 20 years Louise has worked both in clinical settings and in community education.
She has designed and run workshops across Australia on emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection. That background informs how she blends skill practice with exploration in sessions. She holds a Master of Health Sciences in Sexual Health, a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and is a PACFA member.
PACFA indicates membership of the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia. Sessions are delivered with straightforward goals and step-by-step strategies. People reach out to her for help with family of origin issues, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, commitment and communication problems, and separation or divorce adjustments.
Louise aims to make therapy practical and manageable for busy lives.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that reflect their values. It is handy for anxiety, stress and navigating major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to distress and then practising new, more helpful responses. It suits problems like low mood, worry and unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Louise will discuss options and tailor techniques to match a person's goals and preferences. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods and practices to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and doing exercises together, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can fit short check-ins during a busy day, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options help make therapy more accessible for those balancing work, caregiving or other commitments.
