About Louise
Louise Eliadis is a PACFA clinical counsellor in Australia with over 20 years' experience in mental health. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Louise draws on a range of evidence-informed ways of working to help people manage strong emotions and regain steadiness in day-to-day life.
Her style is person-centred and trauma-informed. Sessions focus on practical emotional regulation skills and clearer communication. That can mean learning grounding techniques, noticing thought patterns that escalate anger, and trying new ways to respond in the moment.
Louise also uses cognitive and behavioural strategies to help people reframe unhelpful thinking and test small changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to clarify values and build actions that feel meaningful even when emotions run high.
She has worked across clinical and community settings and runs workshops around emotional regulation and somatic connection. Those group sessions emphasise body awareness and simple practices people can use between appointments.
People consult her for issues linked to attachment, caregiving stress, relationship breakdown, addiction concerns, impulsivity, shame or isolation. In sessions she blends talking therapies with experiential methods like hypnotherapy when appropriate. Practical day-to-day coping and clearer boundaries are regular themes in her work.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, and then choose actions that reflect what matters to them. It is useful for anger that feels automatic or for frustration around life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that escalate emotion and testing small behaviour changes. It is practical for workplace frustration, rumination, and managing triggers that lead to snapping or resentment.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) supplies specific emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. Those skills can be practised in session and used between appointments to reduce impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to match methods to their goals, preferences and day-to-day pressures. That may mean blending ACT, CBT and DBT techniques across sessions rather than sticking to one single model.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time to an appointment. Discussing what will fit into daily life is part of the first conversations so sessions can be arranged in a way that supports realistic practice and carryover.
