Louis Carruthers

I am an Integrative Counsellor (MBACP) and I have a private practice in the City of London and the London Borough of Bexley. I work with adults and couples both in-person and online on a wide range of behavioural, emotional, and relationship issues. I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals/couples to explore their thoughts and feelings and facilitate self-awareness and movement towards healing and growth.

Although I am trained in a range of modalities, including person-centred, cognitive, existential and relational approaches, my primary orientation is psychodynamic. I work with clients to gently explore unconscious processes, defence mechanisms, resistance and the dynamics of transference that often shape our relationships and behaviours. My approach is always collaborative and tailored to what feels most helpful for each individual.

My continuous professional development (CPD) is particularly focused on couples counselling, sexual issues and problematic pornography use. I am also currently enrolled in an MSc in Psychology, which is further deepening my theoretical knowledge and clinical insight.

I also work successfully with couples online to help them strengthen their connection and navigate challenges that can come up in relationships. Some of the areas I often support people with include managing the ups and downs of long-distance relationships, balancing the pressures of work and home life, rebuilding trust after infidelity, exploring non-monogamy, addressing concerns around pornography use, and deepening intimacy and desire. Through my online practice, I also work individually with young men, supporting them in addressing challenges such as problematic pornography use, exploring healthy expressions of masculinity, and navigating men’s issues more broadly.

​Since the pandemic, I’ve found that online therapy offers a level of flexibility that really supports the busy lives of the people I work with — professionals, long-distance couples, and those balancing work, home, and raising children. It allows us to address relationship challenges in a way that fits more easily into daily life, which is why I’ve dedicated a large part of my practice to online couples therapy.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

After a brief initial consultation, our first session will be spent understanding what has brought you to counselling and what you hope to get out of counselling.

In this session we will decide if we are a good fit and whether to commit to ongoing counselling. It is important to me that you feel comfortable so that we can develop a working relationship in which you feel free and safe to discuss your emotions and the circumstances that have brought you to counselling.
