There are times in our lives when we feel we are overwhelmed with the responsibilities we have, or we are unable to deal with the experiences we have endured. Counselling can help you to work through these issues by helping you to understand your feelings and emotions and giving you the tools to help you to cope going forward, helping you to live a fulfilling life. I want to be able to help you learn these tools and give you the change you need.

Louise is great, super easy to talk to, super insightful, I feel like she's listening and cares. Couldn't ask for much more really.

Louise has been very helpful during my times of need and I have enjoyed the sessions. I instantly felt like I could open up freely during these sessions and she made me feel at ease, heard and empathy when I was telling her my story.

I have a much more positive mindset than I did before my sessions with Louise. She listens and she offer strategies on how to deal with your problems, in an effective but judgmental free way. I strongly recommend Louise.

Louise helped me work through some stress and anxiety I’ve been experiencing. It usually manifests in overwhelm and panic attacks as well as dissociative behavior. She was so easy to talk to, personable, and had great resources that she shared with me like worksheets on values, strategies for dealing with stress and anxiety, and she listened as I went deeper into my relationship with my parents and partner. Highly recommend that you work with Louise!
