    Hello & welcome........ 

     

    I am Louise and I live in Lincolnshire (originally from Nottinghamshire) with my husband.

    I don't like the cold, In fact I'm often working with a nice warm hot water bottle behind me!

    I enjoy visiting coffee shops, charity shops and browsing well known online bidding and buying shopping sites!                                                                           

    I qualified as a counsellor at Nottingham University in 2006. Here I achieved my Masters degree in Counselling studies.

    After completing my degree I set up private practice, (in person-face to face, in Nottingham) which ran successfully for several years. I saw clients from all walks of life, for a diverse range of issues. I now practice counselling online and on the telephone.

    I have a diploma for miscarriage counselling and specialise in miscarriage, stillbirth and baby loss

    Previous to my degree I completed a 2 year course (2001-2003) at The Nottingham Counselling Service (NCS) and achieved the Edexcel, (BTEC) Professional Development certificate in Therapeutic Counselling.

    ​

    I worked as a volunteer for NCS during this period and beyond, providing counselling to clients both long term and short term (Brief solution focused therapy)

    I am a registered member of the BACP (Membership number 403745) and adhere to their code and ethics for counselling practice. I implicitly hold the following values as a therapist.

    • unconditional positive regard (UPR) – accepting and valuing you.

    • empathic understanding – seeing your viewpoint as if I were you.
