Louise Barraclough

Hi, I’m Lou.

I understand how daunting it can feel to begin counselling, especially if you’re new to it. You’ve taken your first step! Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile.

You are safe to be yourself when you are in therapy with me - I am compassionate, fully accepting of who you are, empathic and non-judgemental. 

I have experience of supporting Adults, teenagers & young people through a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, bereavement & loss, sexual abuse, struggles with self-image & neurodiversity, impact of medical issues, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. I am a registered member of the Â鶹ԭ´´ and I am an Integrative Counsellor. This means that I am trained and experienced in different therapeutic approaches which I can draw on to meet your needs.

I will support you, at your pace, taking time to understand what is troubling you. Whether you are exhausted by life’s demands, have deep-rooted issues from childhood, are feeling low, lacking in energy, finding yourself overthinking, experiencing relationship issues or generally struggling to cope and looking for some clarity, I will guide you to explore what’s going on for you, so that you feel able to move forward in a way that is right for you.

I offer both face-to-face sessions and remote sessions (online or telephone), whichever suits you best. 

I offer a free 20 minute telephone consultation before your first session, to answer any questions you may have, establish how I may be able to support you and to see if I am a good fit for you. There is no obligation to continue on into therapy after this call.
