About Louise
Louise Eliadis is a PACFA-registered clinical counsellor in Australia with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. Louise also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, substance use, and relationship breakdown.
She practises from a person-centred stance and draws on cognitive behavioural and acceptance-based methods. In sessions she helps people name what is most troubling, notice patterns that keep them stuck, and try small, practical steps to change how they respond. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what can shift day to day.
Louise brings somatic ideas into the work, helping people notice how the body holds stress and learning simple ways to calm physical reactions. She also uses emotion-focused techniques to clarify difficult feelings and improve how people express themselves to others. Where indicated, cognitive strategies are used to challenge unhelpful thinking and build more flexible coping.
Her background includes workshop design and facilitation across Australia on emotional regulation, sexual health, and somatic connection. That practical teaching experience informs brief skills work and handable tools she shares in sessions. People often leave with specific practices to try between meetings.
Louise holds a Master of Health Sciences in Sexual Health, a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. She works in English and does not take international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and then choose actions that match what matters most. It suits people wrestling with anxiety, low mood or uncertainty about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviours to change mood and stress levels. It is useful for anxiety, depression and problem-focused change. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify core emotions and improve how people express themselves in close relationships, which can reduce isolation and repair communication patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process can blend elements from ACT, CBT and EFT depending on what the person needs.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting meetings around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If you need clarity about the session formats offered, confirm current options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions still allow for skills practice, breath and body awareness, and focused conversation that can be used between meetings to support change.
