Louise Bell

Do you want space where you don't have to perform, explain, or be the 'strong one' click on my profile and come and meet me. 

Hello, it's good to meet you here, I’m Louise an Integrative Therapist offering a warm, steady, and welcoming space where you can feel listened to, supported, and gently held in whatever you’re going through.

My approach is grounded in compassion and curiosity — we work together at your pace, exploring what matters most to you in a way that feels safe and manageable.

As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of therapeutic models to shape our sessions around your unique needs. Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, identity questions, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, I aim to meet you exactly where you are.

I am trauma-informed, with a particular interest in supporting people who have experienced sexual violence or abuse in the past. While this is a meaningful part of my work, it does not define my whole practice — I welcome people with a wide range of concerns, and many come to me without a trauma background at all.

Alongside this, I am currently a trainee psychosexual therapist, and I also work with a variety of sexual presentations, offering a safe and open space to explore topics that can often feel difficult to talk about.

I am a registered member of the BACP, and I attend regular supervision and ongoing CPD to ensure my work remains ethical, reflective, and grounded in current best practice.

People often describe me as gentle, warm, and easy to talk to. I believe that healing grows from feeling truly seen and understood, and that even small steps forward can lead to meaningful change over time.

If you’re wondering whether therapy might help, or you’d like to get a sense of how we might work together, I’m happy to offer an initial conversation.

I work in an LGBTQ+ affirmative way, and whatever your background, culture, or identity. You are welcome here, just as you are.

When you contact me via email or telephone we will have a brief consult, I will then send you my current availability, once we have agreed on a date and time, I will either send you a zoom link or the location of my office.

I offer an introductory session which lasts 50 minutes to discuss the nature of your needs and to see what you are seeking from counselling to understand how best I can support you on your counselling journey.  This is also an opportunity for you to get to ask questions, get to understand how I work and how we would work together.

We would also discuss next steps in the counselling/therapy and what that would look like, including day and time of sessions if we decide to work together.

We would then arrange a regular time to meet either online online or face to face. I offer both open ended and short term therapy as I believe you have autonomy. I believe each person grows and develops at their own pace, and it is your choice when to end therapy.  I would however recommend a minimum of six sessions to get a real feel for the process.
