Louise Comfort

My current availability for face to face support - All day Friday and Saturday mornings.  

Online support - Tues/Weds/Thurs evenings, Friday daytime, Saturday mornings.

My practice is shaped by a person-centred approach. I believe in the power of creative processes as essential tools for emotional regulation, supporting the nervous system and overall wellbeing. I offer a safe, non judgemental and confidential space where I meet clients as they are. Through discussion and/or creative approaches, I support children, young people and adults to explore self-expression and feel empowered in their healing journey.

I have a wealth of experience working with bereavement and complexed loss and the difficulties traumatic life experiences may bring. I have 5 years post qualification experience supporting a wide range of clients from different backgrounds, ages, cultures and gender orientation. 

I am currently the bereavement team lead at the Children's Bereavement Centre in Nottinghamshire.

Life can often feel loud, busy and overwhelming. I help individuals explore and understand the challenges they may be facing, and support them in processing trauma or painful experiences. Creative processes can make it easier to communicate thoughts and feelings, but I also recognise that art is not for everyone. For this reason, I offer discussion-based support as well.

I recognise the importance of environment in children’s development and believe early childhood should centre on creativity, play, imagination and exploration. I place the emotional wellbeing of children and young people at the heart of my practice, nurturing curiosity, confidence and self-esteem, while ensuring individuals feel seen, heard and valued.

Before your first session, we will have an introductory conversation/phone call.  This allows us to explore your needs and what you would like to gain from your counselling experience.  It is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and to see if I am the right counsellor for you.
