About me and my therapy practice
I’m Louise, I’m an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist. I am a member of Íø±¬ÃÅ (British Association of Counselling Psychotherapists) and work within their ethical guidelines. I have extensive training and experience working with Children and Adults. I have training in various therapeutic styles including talking therapy, psychodynamic, CBT, person centred and existential therapy. This means that I can tailor a unique approach to you as an individual. This approach has proven to be highly effective.
All of us, at some point in our lives, experience challenges and hardship. You may be feeling sad, anxious and overwhelmed. Whatever you are going through and whatever you are feeling. You are not alone. I offer a safe, empathetic, caring and non-judgmental space where I can help you. We can work together to understand and process the thoughts and emotions that are causing your distress. In doing this we can then work towards building the future that you want and deserve.
My goal as a therapist is to walk beside you, guide and support you through the challenges you are facing, helping you move towards a more positive future. I can help you let go of self limiting beliefs and support you in creating a rich and meaningful life. I will provide you with one to one support, explore your needs, work through trauma together, learn to manage your feelings and let go of fear.
Practice description
Speaking to a counsellor can be a daunting process. I wish to reassure you I understand this and hope to offer you a sensitive, caring and empathetic environment to work through your feelings.
When we work on ourselves, we open the potential of possibility. The opportunity to enrich our relationships and have deeper more meaningful connections with those around us. I see many clients who are at a crossroads in their lives regardless of age, due to bereavement, divorce, illness, parenting, depression, mental illness or those who are simply searching for meaning in their life
