About Louise Eliadis
Louise Eliadis is a PACFA-registered clinical counsellor with more than 20 years working in the mental health field. She combines a compassionate, grounded presence with a trauma-informed, person-centred framework to support people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, substance use and major life changes.
Her practice blends practical, evidence-based therapies with somatic and experiential methods, integrating approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Process Work, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnotherapy and somatic therapy. This integrative stance helps address emotional regulation, build self-esteem, release stored trauma and restore balance between body and mind.
Louise has designed and led workshops around Australia focused on emotional regulation, sexual health and somatic connection, bringing both clinical training and workshop experience to her clinical work. She holds a Master of Health Sciences in Sexual Health, a Graduate Diploma of Counselling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. The master level degree reflects postgraduate training in sexual health, the graduate diploma denotes advanced counselling training, and the psychology bachelor provides a foundation in psychological theory and research.
Clients work with Louise on a range of issues including attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, commitment and communication difficulties, family and fatherhood issues, addiction, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and coping with separation or divorce. Her approach aims to meet each person where they are and to collaborate on practical strategies and deeper healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and challenges with motivation.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental, empathetic space where the client leads the pace of work and the therapist supports insight and self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships and navigating life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns and teaches concrete skills to shift them. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, anger and coping with change.
Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Louise Eliadis works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone can fit around work and family commitments, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional ways to connect between appointments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals regardless of schedule or location within the practice area.
