About me
Allowing you the time and space to share your experiences while listening to you and showing you compassion and understanding is a crucial aspect of my work. Finding a therapist can be difficult, particularly if you're going through a difficult time. My name is Loui, I work as an Adult and 12+ Children's and Young People's counsellor, couples and adult families counsellor, and I supervise other counsellors, who work with both adults, couples, young adults, and children and young people.
I have frequently seen how, when they truly feel heard and accepted without condemnation or judgment, people start to feel less heavy and overwhelmed in their lives. I'll provide an emotionally safe, confidential, and supportive environment where you're free to talk about whatever is causing you distress.
I specialise in women's issues: puberty, fertility, infertility, conception, pregnancy, delivery, antenatal and postnatal care, childbirth, perimenopause, and menopause. I am particularly keen to support new mums, as I have lived experience of birth trauma, and how early motherhood can impact.
Women experience numerous changes in their lives, so if you can relate to this, I would like to offer my support.
I can provide pre-trial therapy and operate in a trauma-informed manner. I have specialised training and extensive experience working with those who have experienced sexual abuse and trauma.
I worked as a teacher and Deputy Head for over 12 years, and I am very keen to support other teachers. I have also worked with many parents and young people facing issues with schools and school trauma. If you would like to be able to speak about your experiences, I would like to hear from you.
I work solely online - I find this works well for clients as it allows the flexibility of appointments, and the ability to access sessions from the comfort of your own home or whilst working away. I am also insured to work online with international clients.
The Ben Raemers Foundation
I have undertaken additional training, enabling me to more fully understand the skateboarding community along with the varying challenges and difficulties that can be experienced.
The Ben Raemers Foundation aims to break down fears, to improve knowledge and to promote understanding around mental health stigmas and taboos.

Training, qualifications & experience
Having obtained an MA in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Nottingham, I work as a Person-Centred counsellor. I have over 20 years of experience working in education with both adults and children before receiving my postgraduate degree.
I work in a trauma-informed manner and have a great deal of experience and training working with trauma. What has happened to you and the effects it has had on your life are of interest to me. I have a lot of experience working with people who have been sexually abused or victims of CSA, and I follow CPS guidelines when providing pre-trial therapy.
