About Louise
Louise Fineberg works from a person-centred approach that places the client at the heart of therapy. She combines client-centred listening with mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas to help people understand difficult patterns and find practical ways forward. She has nine years of experience supporting people with relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, low self-esteem and depression.
She also helps people who face addiction or sleeping difficulties and those dealing with long-term illness or pain.
How Louise works
Louise recognises that every story is different and that small steps can lead to meaningful change. In sessions she focuses on clear, steady listening and helping people make sense of what is happening for them. Mindfulness tools can help manage overwhelming feelings and bring attention to the present.
Psychodynamic ideas are used to notice repeating patterns that affect current relationships and choices. Her work often includes practical strategies for coping day to day, and gentle reflection on past experiences that continue to shape current behaviour. Louise encourages people to identify strengths they already have and to use these when testing new ways of responding.
She accepts clients across the United Kingdom and internationally and offers sessions in English. To begin, people answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions when convenient.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Louise works with client-centred therapy which means sessions focus on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and to build confidence in their own choices.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices. These techniques can reduce stress, help with sleep problems and make strong emotions easier to notice and manage.
Psychodynamic therapy is used to look at patterns that repeat in relationships and behaviour. Talking about past experiences can reveal why certain situations feel familiar and offer ways to try different responses.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals and preferences rather than following a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can provide a shorter check-in, and text-based messaging lets people reflect in their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
