About Louise
Louise Eliadis is a counsellor with 20 years of experience in mental health. She draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. Louise speaks plainly and focuses on what a person can do next rather than on labels.
Her sessions are person-centred and trauma-aware. She listens for what matters most to each person and helps them name feelings and patterns. Work often focuses on emotional regulation, building self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Louise also addresses issues linked to relationships and family history. She helps people work through attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, communication problems and the effects of family of origin difficulties. She supports those dealing with divorce and separation, fatherhood concerns, or caregiver stress.
People bring a range of struggles to sessions, including depression, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and substance use. Louise combines practical strategies from cognitive and behavioural approaches with techniques that address the body and stored emotion. This mix aims to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day coping.
Her background includes workshop facilitation across Australia on emotional regulation and somatic connection. Louise holds a Master of Health Sciences (Sexual Health), a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology), and is a PACFA member. She offers sessions in English and works with adults seeking steady, practical support.

Online support
How Emotion-Focused and Acceptance Work Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name core emotions and how those emotions shape their reactions. In sessions this often means tracking feeling states, identifying unmet needs and practising new ways to respond to strong emotions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing values-based actions. It suits people who want skills to live with difficult thoughts while moving toward meaningful goals. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre, with the therapist offering empathic listening and non-judgemental support so the person can find their own direction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways of combining methods. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during sessions.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face connection and exercises that use tone and expression. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, reflective writing or ongoing support between sessions. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to keep up with around work and family commitments.
