I am a qualified Counsellor from the UK and run my own private practice. I am an Accredited Registered Member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society and work within the framework of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society Code of Ethics.
I offer an empathetic, non-judgemental space where you can feel listened to and accepted for who you are.
My Person-Centred approach to counselling means that I believe that you are the expert of your own life. The focus of the session is on giving you the space to feel understood, and allowing you to share how you are affected by what you are going through. I hope that by talking about and sharing what you are going through, you will be led to see the best way forward for you.

Louise is a professional, extremely kind, and empathetic Therapist. She creates a space where you feel able to openly express how you feel without judgement - a space to really feel heard. I only have good things to say about Louise and I am so grateful that I have found such a great Therapist.

Louise is very kind, open and understanding, yet also shows her true knowledge of therapy. Talking to Louise makes me open up and think about various different topics, that i have never thought of before. I like that Louise is patient and provides very honest and helpful possible conclusions to challenges that i am facing at the time.

Louise is kind and considerate, and has been paramount in my mental health journey. She always acts with such professionalism, but at the same time is warm and friendly. She consistently acts as an advocate for me, suggesting new groupinars or worksheets that I might be interested in. I look forward to our conversations every week, it’s like talking to a friend!

Written on Jan 26, 2023 after therapy with Louise for 3 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes
I particularly like Louise because it feels like she is capable of great empathy, I really believe she understands my point of view and feelings incredibly well even though many of my experiences are not very common. She is also great at making me feel like my worries/fears are legitimate when I start to believe that maybe I am overreacting. She makes for a great listener and helps processing feelings are events.
