About Louise
Louise Eliadis is a PACFA clinical counsellor in Australia with 20 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes. She also addresses family of origin issues and related patterns that can affect adult life.
Louise uses person-centred ways of working alongside evidence-based practices. In sessions she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These approaches are used to help people notice thoughts and feelings, learn new skills and make choices that fit their values.
Her practice pays attention to emotional regulation and self-esteem. Louise also helps people understand repeated roles and expectations that come from their family of origin. She talks through patterns around attachment, control, commitment and communication, and practical steps to change them.
Louise has designed and run workshops across Australia on emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection. She also includes techniques from hypnotherapy and body-focused work when appropriate. Her background includes a Master of Health Sciences (Sexual Health), a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology).
People meet here for straightforward conversations about difficult experiences. Sessions focus on skills, reflection and small changes that make daily life easier. The first meetings typically map current concerns and decide which approach to try next.
How Louise uses therapeutic approaches online
Louise often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings rather than trying to change them right away, and it can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to look at unhelpful thinking patterns and test them with practical exercises. CBT sessions typically include skill practice and simple tasks between meetings to help change behaviour and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is used when relationship patterns and attachment issues are central. EFT helps people identify emotional responses and experiment with different ways of relating that can reduce conflict and isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which approaches to try and adjust them over time in a collaborative way.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time. Discuss practical preferences with Louise when arranging the first appointment.
