Hi, I'm Louise.
I'm a BACP registered counsellor with over a decade of experience in private practice and within the NHS. I specialise in Mental Health, Relationships, Confidence and Resilience building and Coaching/Conflict resolution. My approach is warm, caring and non-judgemental and I am dedicated to providing a compassionate, effective counselling service tailored to your unique needs.
My background encompasses a wide range of specialties, including:
Mental Health: Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, I provide a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings while developing practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.
Relationships: Relationships can be complex, but they're also incredibly rewarding. I offer couples counselling and individual therapy to help you navigate communication issues, conflict resolution, intimacy challenges, and other relational dynamics, fostering deeper connections and healthier interactions.
Confidence Building: Building self-confidence is key to unlocking your full potential. Through personalized coaching techniques, I will seek to empower you to cultivate self-awareness, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace your unique strengths, allowing you to step into your power with confidence and resilience.
My approach is rooted in Solution-Focused Therapy, a strengths-based model that focuses on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Together, we'll explore your goals, identify what's working well in your life, and develop practical strategies to build on your strengths and overcome obstacles. By harnessing your own resources and resilience, we'll create a roadmap for positive change that empowers you to thrive.
As a trained person centred therapist, my focus is always your focus, we will work on whatever YOU need to address, without a pre determined agenda and my goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and confidence needed to navigate life's challenges and create a fulfilling future.
If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation, I invite you to take the first step towards positive change. Contact me to begin your path towards a brighter tomorrow, I'll be with you all the way :)

Louise has been absolutely incredible! Really great rapport and listens, understands and respectfully challenges my thinking to help me find the answer to my own questions which in turn modifies and aligns my thought processes and actions into a positive. Thoroughly enjoy my sessions with Louise and I look forward to our sessions. Louise is goal oriented and this is super helpful to ensure I reach my objectives! Thanks Louise

Louise has been excellent. I am enjoying my journey of self-discovery with her. I'm seeing improvements in my response to life's challenges already, and it's very heartening.
