About Louise
Louise Eliadis is a clinical counsellor with 20 years' experience working in mental health.

She works with people facing depression and major life changes. Louise helps clients who feel isolated or overwhelmed, and those coping with relationship wounds tied to attachment and abandonment.

Louise uses a mix of therapeutic approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on emotional regulation, shifting unhelpful thinking, and building day-to-day coping skills. Hypnotherapy and somatic work are also part of her toolkit when they suit a client’s goals.
Her background includes designing and running workshops across Australia on emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection. She holds a Master of Health Sciences in Sexual Health, a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. Louise is a PACFA clinical member - PACFA is the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia.
People can expect clear, practical steps alongside space to talk through difficult feelings. Louise aims to help clients restore balance between body and mind while building stronger self-awareness and resilience.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without being ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with depression, low self-esteem and anger.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That plan can change as work progresses so clients and the counsellor find the best fit together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people continue work with a counsellor while relocating within Australia. Appropriately qualified therapists adapt exercises, homework and emotion regulation techniques so they work well in a spoken session or via the chosen session format.
