Louise Waterfall , BACP

Louise Waterfall is a United Kingdom-based therapist with 12 years of clinical experience who holds BACP membership - the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers Psychophonetics Counselling as a structured, short-term approach, working with clients across a maximum of 12 weekly sessions to help them gain clearer self-awareness and practical pathways forward.

Louise views each difficulty as a potential opportunity for personal growth. In sessions she identifies a client’s "growing point" and explores what practical and experiential steps will support that development. Her work blends reflective conversation with active, body-focused practices to deepen self-understanding and emotional empathy.

Her Psychophonetics practice incorporates self-empathy exercises that draw on somatic awareness, gesture, visualisation, and imagination. These techniques aim to help clients connect mind and body, notice habitual patterns, and cultivate kinder internal contact as they move toward meaningful change.

Approach-Oriented Online Therapy with Somatic Insight

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-directive space where the client’s own perspectives and values guide the pace and goals of work - it helps with self-esteem, life transitions, and relational concerns. Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping people facing emptiness, grief, or major life questions to clarify what matters to them. Somatic Therapy connects bodily sensations with emotions and memories, using awareness of the body’s signals to work through stress, trauma, and patterns of avoidance.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Louise collaborates with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the balance of conversation and embodied practice as the work unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access support from different locations and schedules. For many people this range of formats allows consistent engagement, timely check-ins, and a way to continue therapy that fits everyday life while still working with licensed professionals and therapists.
