About Louise
Her work focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship problems. She also helps people coping with grief, family conflict, parenting pressures, and issues related to sexuality and intimacy. Intellectual disability is listed among the topics she addresses, alongside concerns such as ADHD and chronic health challenges.
Louise draws on a person-centred approach that places the client's experience at the heart of the conversation. In practice this means she listens without judgement, reflects what she hears, and helps people find their own solutions. Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s needs.
Before qualifying as a counsellor she worked supporting adults with housing and mental health needs, and since qualifying she has worked in local counselling agencies, as a college counsellor, and with a national children’s charity offering wellbeing support. She now runs a face-to-face private practice in addition to other roles.
People who choose her describe taking the first step as an important move towards clearer thinking and less overwhelm. She aims to offer calm, steady support while clients work through practical changes and emotional healing.

Step 3
How a person-centred approach works online
Louise practises a person-centred way of working, which focuses on listening, empathy and following the client’s lead. This approach helps people who want a supportive space to talk through stress, anxiety, relationship worries and life changes, and it prioritises the client’s own goals and pace.Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs and preferences and together they will decide how to proceed. This collaborative process helps shape sessions so they feel helpful and manageable.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow a check-in that suits work or childcare schedules. Some formats may be shorter or require less bandwidth and can be useful when a brief catch-up is needed rather than a long in-person meeting.
