Hello
I’m Louise and I’m here to help you see things differently
You may have found my website because you’re looking for some support right now.I offer online and telephone sessions which enables me to work with clients across the UK. I understand that talking about your difficulties may feel overwhelming and that it takes a lot of courage to reach out; by providing a safe space and a caring relationship, I offer you a place to be listened to and to see things differently.​You may be struggling with anxiety or low mood; transitions in life may be challenging, or perhaps family relationships are strained? Are you autistic, have ADHD or neurodiversity and want support managing some of the challenges around this? I use an integrative approach to work with a variety of aspects, utilising techniques to best suit each individual client.​Do you need somebody to talk to? Are you unsure where to start? I can support you by discussing a range of issues at your own pace.​I also offer therapy to those with physical disabilities and I provide space to talk about aspects of disability that may feel sensitive. I have experience supporting clients with rare conditions, along with their families. I am also a LGBTQ+ ally.​I’m a registered member of BACP, currently offering remote work online and over the phone. In person sessions in Birmingham and Vauxhall available on request.
Experience
My name is Louise and I’m an integrative counsellor. This means I use a variety of approaches to suit individual needs.
My background is in psychology. I have over 15 years’ experience working in mental health. As an assistant psychologist I worked predominantly with adults with acquired brain injuries or eating disorders.
​
I specialise in working with disabled or chronically ill clients, particularly those who have neurological conditions. My experience includes working with those who live with MS and MSA, along with their families.
I have been providing counselling to adults in Birmingham city centre for over seven years and love to support clients to grow. I have supported clients with a range of issues including: self-esteem, body image, depression and anxiety. I’m an LGBTQ+ ally and have worked with clients who want to discuss sexuality and relationships. I’m also a disability-affirmative therapist and I work to the social model of disability.
I am the counsellor at a local college supporting students aged 16-19

I am also a mental health trainer delivering sessions to teachers, school staff and other youth professionals, as well as the young people they work with.

FEEDBACK
I immediately felt a sense of safety and nurturing in sessions with Louise. She equipped me with transformative tools that proved invaluable whenever I found myself slipping back into negative self-talk patterns. She skillfully guided me in reframing feelings of guilt and prompted me to explore the origins of my perfectionist tendencies.
One of the aspects I truly valued about Louise's approach was her consistent emphasis on self-compassion. In moments of frustration, Louise encouraged me to extend kindness towards myself. She acknowledged that progress and healing aren't always linear.
Louise's guidance has had a profound impact on my life, helping me start to break free from detrimental patterns and fostering genuine personal growth as well as deepening my relationships. Her thoughtful guidance and unwavering support have truly been instrumental in my journey towards self-discovery and positive change.
