About Louise

Louise Eliadis is a counsellor who brings 20 years of experience to gentle, practical therapy. She uses hypnotherapy alongside talking approaches to help people manage anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and big life changes. Louise keeps language straightforward and sessions focused on small, useful steps.

Her practice leans on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and client-centred methods. She combines these with hypnotherapy when appropriate to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.

Background and approach

Sessions often include grounding exercises, thought work and clear goals for change. Louise has worked across clinical and community settings and has run workshops in Australia on emotional regulation and somatic connection. That background informs practical tools she shares in sessions, like breathing techniques and behavioural experiments you can try between meetings.

People come to her for help with depression, anger, addiction concerns, relationship patterns from family of origin, grief and the stress of caregiving. She focuses on emotional regulation, building self-worth, and reducing reactive responses so daily life feels more manageable.

Louise holds a Master of Health Sciences in Sexual Health and a Graduate Diploma of Counselling, and she is a PACFA clinical member. She offers sessions in English and works with adults seeking steady, compassionate support for ongoing problems and transitions.

How hypnotherapy and ACT can work online

Louise often combines hypnotherapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred work. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access different ways of thinking and responding. It can be useful for anxiety, habit change and calming strong physical reactions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT uses simple mindfulness skills and values-based actions to reduce avoidance and build a meaningful life. Client-centred therapy gives space for a person to be heard and understood, which supports trust and changes that feel authentic.

She approaches choice of method as a shared decision. The therapist will listen to your goals, try techniques, and adjust the mix of approaches if something is not helping. Clients and the therapist work together to find what fits your needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are close to face-to-face and let the therapist use visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a busy day. Messaging and live chat support shorter check-ins, skill prompts and written reflection between longer meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family life.
