About Louise
Louise Eliadis is a PACFA clinical counsellor with 20 years' experience in the mental health field. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer ways of responding when emotions run high.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred methods. She uses these to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test different responses and build steady habits that reduce distress. Work often targets emotional regulation and practical change rather than abstract theory.
Louise also works with issues linked to attachment and abandonment, family of origin problems, communication and commitment difficulties, and the stress of caregiving. She addresses substance use, impulsivity, guilt, shame and isolation with a mixture of talking therapy and somatic-aware techniques. This includes helping clients recognise physical signals and respond differently to them.
She has developed and run workshops across Australia on emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection. Her background includes a Master of Health Sciences (Sexual Health), a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology). PACFA refers to the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia and indicates professional membership.
Practical sessions typically focus on skill-building, clear behaviour experiments and short-term strategies that people can apply between meetings. Before booking, confirm session formats and any other details with the service to make sure they suit your circumstances.
How CBT and ACT translate to online sessions
Louise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing alternative behaviours through short experiments. It suits people who want clear steps to change patterns of thinking and behaviour. ACT emphasises noticing thoughts and values-based action, helping people make choices that align with what matters even when feelings are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. Sessions often blend techniques so the plan matches the person’s needs and everyday life demands.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking as the profile does not list them explicitly. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins or longer therapy blocks depending on what suits daily routines. If you need a quieter setup, lower bandwidth or a session without video, discuss options when booking so arrangements can be made that fit your situation.
