Louise Blake

I currently have availability for weekday daytime appointments, please get in contact for my current availability. 

I work with individuals facing a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties who are seeking meaningful and lasting change. Each client brings a unique and deeply personal set of reasons for engaging in therapy—whether it be managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, navigating complex or challenging relationships, coping with significant life transitions, or experiencing a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction that may be difficult to articulate.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am a counselling tutor, teaching first and second year trainee counsellors at Willows Counselling in Swindon. This academic role reinforces my commitment to reflective, ethical, and evidence-informed practice, and ensures that my clinical work remains grounded in current theory and research.

I offer a supportive and confidential space where you can pause, reflect, and feel truly heard. This is a place for your story—especially the parts that have been difficult to express—to be acknowledged and explored with empathy and respect. Together, we will work towards greater clarity, understanding, and meaningful transformation within your life.

If you'd like to arrange a free, no obligation 20 min consultation or wish to book an initial assessment appointment, then please do get in touch.

My approach is integrative, drawing upon evidence-based modalities including person-centred therapy, psychodynamic theory, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). This enables me to tailor the therapeutic process to your specific needs, addressing both immediate concerns and deeper underlying patterns. By combining these frameworks, therapy becomes a flexible and dynamic process aimed at fostering insight, emotional healing, and sustainable personal growth.

Deciding to start therapy can be a big decision, and finding the right therapist for you is important. As such I am happy to arrange an initial, free, no obligation 20 min telephone call for you to find out a little more about how I work, and to ask any questions. 

Initial assessment sessions are 50 mins and charged at the usual session fee. They are a further chance for you to find out how I work, and for me to understand more about you and what's bringing you to therapy at this time.
