About me and my therapy practice
I'm Louise, an integrative counsellor. I offer a safe and confidential space where I can support you through what ever it is that you are going through.
My approach is deep rooted in Person-Centred Therapy, this focuses on creating a warm, accepting, and non-judgmental space where you can truly feel heard and understood. I may incorporate other therapeutic methods to meet your individual needs.
I have supported individuals facing many mental health challenges such as, anxiety, depression, loss/grief including complex grief, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem/confidence issues and personal growth. I offer emotional support for anyone living with chronic pain and illness. Through my own experiences I know there is limited support and I want you to know you don't have to struggle alone.
Reaching out for counselling support can be difficult and often requires a lot of courage.
If you find yourself ruminating on the past, feeling stuck, unable to move forward, or if you're anxious about the future, we can work together to uncover what might be preventing you from fully living and embracing the present.
Practice description
I provide a free telephone consultation to discuss your reasons for counselling and how I can support you.
We will discuss your expectations and identify what is necessary to attain the most effective results from your therapy. This is your opportunity to ask me any questions about the counselling process.
Sessions can range from 6-12 weekly appointments. Clients usually notice improvements by this time frame.
Open ended sessions are offered as some clients may require extended sessions due to more complex experiences. Together, we will always review your progress regularly.
All sessions are confidential, the counselling room is a welcoming, warm and safe space where you can feel comfortable sharing your experiences.
My first session
During your first session we will discuss the counsellor and client contract. You will be asked to sign the consent form containing the information from your initial telephone consultation, an attendance form and an appointment cancellation policy (This takes a few minutes, then we can begin your session).
