​
Hi, I'm Louise,
​
I'm a counsellor with 13 years of experience, but I am also a mum, wife, daughter and sister. I'm a down to earth 57 year old with a good sense of humour. I like to keep things simple and straightforward (no jargon here)
​
There are so many therapist websites to look at, its exhausting, how do you choose? It can be overwhelming and time consuming. So much so that you might decide to leave it for today and come back to search at a different time.
​
However, you are looking for someone that you can feel a connection with, a therapist that is warm, kind, gentle and nurturing. After-all you want to feel free to talk about anything and be comfortable.
Even If you find yourself crying or laughing in a session, its all important stuff along the way. Our relationship is key to your therapy journey.
​
Our therapy relationship will be unique, like no other in every day life.
Our relationship is the recipe for changes to happen, for you to feel that someone else understands
you and is supporting you to find relief and a better way forward in life.
I will see the best in you, even when you can't see it yourself.
​
I work online (video link) or by telephone and I have availability at the moment. If you want to bring your pet to the session then this is welcome too! click here to find out more about me.
​​​​​​​​​​
I offer long term therapy that is open ended-suitable for exploring your past and how it affects the present, giving you time and space to explore your difficulties and make positive changes in your life.
OR...
I offer solution focused brief therapy. It is short term therapy of 6-8 sessions that focuses on helping you find/build solutions- so it less about the past but about your difficulties in the present and helping you to find a better way forward.
It is therefore goal oriented, collaborative and future focused.
If you are not sure what is right for you just ask, you can message me, or we can have a chat by telephone.
​
I work with: relationship difficulties, fertility issues, miscarriage, bereavement, challenging emotions, life events and changes, low mood, self esteem, low confidence, depression. I also specialise in anxiety difficulties.

​​
I understand how it can be a very confusing time trying to understand how counselling might work for you and also a daunting prospect to place your trust in a complete stranger. Many of my clients are very nervous at first contact.

​
You may have had counselling before and have some idea of what to expect or maybe this is all very new. I have worked for many years with clients, some have had counselling before and some clients are so nervous they almost don't make the first session!
​
It doesn't matter who we are or what we do, sometimes we reach a point where we feel unable to cope. Feelings of despair, anxiety or hopelessness can overcome us and it can be difficult to see a way out.
