Louise Latham

I have some availability across the week both at Lakehouse Kent in Ashford and Maidstone Community Support Centre, or online 

I also work at the Shakra Centre Ashford alternate Saturdays and Sundays.

The start of a new year doesn’t always feel like a fresh beginning.

For many, it can bring low mood, uncertainty, or fear about what lies ahead, especially if past experiences have been painful, overwhelming, or disappointing. Rather than feeling hopeful, you may find yourself bracing for what might go wrong, carrying exhaustion from simply having had to cope for so long. If this resonates, you’re not alone, and there is nothing “wrong” with you for feeling this way.

Starting therapy can feel like a daunting step. You may have been carrying things on your own for a long time, telling yourself you should be able to cope, or putting other people’s needs before your own. Reaching out for support often comes after a great deal of strength, not failure.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or unsure where to turn. Many have experienced trauma, loss, anxiety, depression, or long periods of coping alone. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that there is no “right” way to be in therapy. We move at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, nor that meaningful change has to take years of work together. Therapy with me is shaped around your unique experiences, needs, and goals, offering a space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of your emotions, and reconnect with yourself with greater compassion and clarity.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation by phone or video call. This is a gentle space to ask questions, talk about what you're looking for, and get a sense of how it might feel to work together,there’s no pressure or obligation to continue.

If you decide to begin therapy, I’ll email you a counselling contract in advance. This outlines the practical side of the work, including confidentiality, boundaries, and session structure. We’ll talk it through together in your first full session and create a negotiated agreement that feels right for you.

That first session is a chance for you to begin at your own pace, there’s no expectation to share anything before you feel ready. I’ll invite you to talk about what’s brought you to therapy, what you might be hoping for, and what kind of support feels most helpful.

If you're feeling very anxious or emotionally overwhelmed, some clients find it helpful to begin with a Reiki session before moving into talking therapy. This can offer a gentle starting point to regulate the nervous system, settle the body, and build trust in the therapeutic space. You're welcome to discuss this options in our consultation.

Whether we begin with conversation or calming energy work, the aim is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and gently met just as you are.

Get in touch to learn more about how we might work together.

There’s no pressure to commit, therapy works best when you feel safe, understood, and with someone who feels right for you.

Therapy with me is shaped around your unique experiences, needs, and goals, offering a space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you, make sense of your emotions, and reconnect with yourself with greater compassion and clarity.

Together, we can:

• Understand and gently regulate overwhelming or difficult emotions

• Process trauma, grief, or anxiety in a safe, contained environment

• Rebuild your sense of self, confidence, and emotional resilience

• Develop practical tools to support you through life’s challenges

• Explore holistic approaches, such as Reiki or crystal healing, if this feels right for you

Holistic work is always optional and guided by your comfort and consent. Our work will remain grounded in what feels safest and most supportive for you.

If you’re looking for a therapist who offers warmth, professional insight, and a deeply respectful, person-centred approach, I would love to hear from you.

I also bring both personal and professional experience of neurodivergence, which helps me offer attuned, flexible support to those who may have felt misunderstood, overwhelmed, or expected to mask parts of themselves in other spaces. Here, you’re welcome just as you are.
