Hi, I'm Louise, and you have come across my profile! I'm a counsellor, but also a mum, wife and daughter. I'm a down to earth 57 year old who doesn't use jargon, likes to keep things simple- with a huge dollop of warmth and acceptance for everyone I meet.
You are likely looking for a therapist that is a good match, someone with whom you can get a connection & feel at ease. I work online by video link so i can provide therapy for you, wherever you live in the UK. I have a few client spaces left.
About me and my practice
I work online or by telephone and I have some availability at the moment. If you want to bring your pet to the session then this is welcome too! Some of my clients find comfort having their pet present!
You need to feel free to talk about anything and be comfortable with your therapist. Whether you are angry, crying or laughing, its all important stuff along the way. Our relationship is key to your therapy journey.
I work with a wide range of client difficulties, particularly anxiety. I have helped many clients with their anxiety over the years.
As well as working with anxiety I also have experience and expertise in helping people struggling with their feelings following a miscarriage/baby loss/stillbirth and the grief that accompanies this loss.
That said, i have worked with many clients for a wide range of issues, so whether it is grief and loss or anxiety or something else....I can help you.
You can reach out to me by text message if you prefer.
You may feel that you are not being understood by others around you. You might feel overwhelmed, lonely and isolated with your feelings and need to find a way forward as you are unhappy and need to escape the struggle.
Let me step inside your struggle with you and help you find a way out.
You are on this website because you are looking for a therapist that you can talk to in a safe confidential space, a therapist that you feel at ease with, to better understand yourself, find ways of managing and coping and to also find a better way forward. I can help you with that.
Pets or no pets, I look forward to meeting you....
