About Louise
PACFA Clinical Member. Master of Health Sciences (Sexual Health), Graduate Diploma of Counselling, Bachelor of Arts (Psychology). Twenty years working in the mental health field.
Louise Eliadis helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people facing life changes and practical relationship issues such as communication problems, separation, attachment and commitment concerns. Her approach blends several well-known counselling methods the biography lists.
Louise uses client-centred work alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice thoughts and try different behaviours. She also draws on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy tools when emotional regulation and relationships are central to a problem. Hypnotherapy and somatic ideas appear in her work where people need to address trauma stored in the body.
Sessions focus on practical skills for managing strong feelings and on building self-esteem. She talks through patterns that keep people stuck and practices new ways of responding. The counsellor has run workshops across Australia on emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection, which inform her clinical practice.
People who contact Louise should expect straightforward conversations about their concerns and clear suggestions for skills to try between sessions. She works from an evidence-informed framework and integrates different methods to match the issues presented. Language used in sessions is English and international clients are not accepted.
How Louise uses therapeutic approaches online
Louise works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that suit online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to valued actions; it can help with anxiety, stress and low mood by shifting how people relate to difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety, depression and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring, and then suggest which methods to try together. That collaborative decision can be reviewed as work progresses so the approach remains practical and relevant.
