I can work with you to find the best day and times for each of your sessions.

​I have 13 years of experience supporting clients and I feel privileged to have received excellent feedback from wonderful clients.

If you want to read more about me and what I offer please visit my website (which is listed in this profile)

Sessions are 50 minutes in duration.

I welcome text messages for initial enquiries or questions.

I am Louise, a down to earth, warm counsellor with a good sense of humour. I offer solution focused brief therapy 6-8 sessions or long term...find out more in my profile.

You are probably searching for someone that you feel a connection with.

I like to keep things simple and straightforward (no jargon here) I work online by video link (or telephone) so I can provide therapy for you, wherever you live in the UK.

• How I work

I work online (video link) or by telephone and I have some availability at the moment.

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

Solution focused BRIEF THERAPY. It is short term therapy of 6-8 sessions that focuses on helping you find/implement solutions- so it less about the past but about your difficulties in the present and helping you to find a better way forward.

Brief therapy is therefore goal oriented, collaborative and future focused.

If you are not sure what is right for you, just send me a message.

• 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.

If you have looked at some profiles you may find that ultimately, 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 angry, crying, or laughing during a session, it's all important stuff along the way.

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.

When you decide to have therapy with me I will send you some information to look over which covers confidentiality in sessions.

Once a session day and time has been agreed I will send you a google meet video link, (if sessions are being taken by video) 

I will call you at the agreed date and time if your sessions are by telephone.

In your first session I can start to get to know you and develop an understanding of your difficulties. This will help me to understand what your goals are in therapy. We can discuss this together.

I know starting therapy can feel daunting. We will always work at your pace and in the way that feels right for you.

When you feel ready, together we can explore your difficult thoughts and feelings.

1. Emotional changes

My clients often become better at understanding and managing their emotions.

​2. Improved self-awareness

My clients report an improved understand of their thoughts, behaviour patterns, and triggers by,

Recognising unhelpful thinking habits.

3. Changes in thinking patterns

Clients I have helped and supported have been able to challenge self-critical thoughts

Develop more balanced perspectives

Feel less “stuck” in cycles of worry or rumination.

4. Behavioural changes

As thoughts and emotions shift, behaviour often follows:

My clients have noticed healthier coping strategies (e.g., problem-solving instead of avoidance)

Have improved habits and routines.

Greater willingness to face difficult situations.

5. Better relationships

My clients frequently report improvements in how they relate to others: Clearer communication and stronger boundaries.

Increased empathy and understanding.This can positively affect friendships, family, and work relationships.

​6. Increased confidence and self-esteem

Over time, many of my clients feel: More confident in decision-making

Less dependent on others’ approval

A stronger sense of self-worth.

7. Symptom relief

For those dealing with specific conditions like Depression or anxiety, my clients report a reduction in symptoms such as: Low mood, Loss of motivation, Sleep or appetite issues.
