About me
Hi, I'm Louise, an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and founder of Reflection Therapy in Widnes.
I understand that taking the first step into counselling isn't always easy. You may know exactly what has brought you here, or you might simply know that something doesn't feel right and you're not quite sure what needs to change. Either is completely okay.
My approach to counselling is warm, relaxed and down-to-earth. I don't believe therapy needs to feel clinical or overly formal, and you don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to say. Sometimes having somewhere you can speak openly, without worrying about judgement or about how somebody else might feel, can be incredibly valuable.
As an integrative therapist, I don't believe that one approach fits everyone. I draw upon different therapeutic approaches depending on the person I'm working with, what has brought them to counselling and what they hope to gain from it.
For some people, counselling is about having the space to talk and make sense of what they're experiencing. For others, it can involve understanding patterns in their thoughts, feelings or relationships, exploring past experiences, or developing practical ways of coping with what's happening now. Often, it's a combination of these.
I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression and low mood, stress, trauma, bereavement, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and periods where life simply feels overwhelming.
Reflection Therapy
I established Reflection Therapy in 2019 with the aim of making counselling feel accessible, welcoming and human.
Over the years, the practice has grown and I now work alongside other qualified therapists with different areas of experience and ways of working. Having colleagues around me is something I really value professionally and also means that, where appropriate, I may be able to suggest another therapist if I feel their experience or approach would be particularly suited to what someone is looking for.
My own work remains at the heart of the practice and I continue to provide counselling and psychotherapy alongside running Reflection Therapy.
Working together
The relationship you have with your therapist is incredibly important. Qualifications and therapeutic approaches matter, but you also need to feel comfortable with the person sitting opposite you.
I won't tell you what you should do or judge the choices you've made. Instead, we'll work together to understand what's happening for you and help you find a way forward that feels right for you.
You don't need to commit to anything simply by getting in touch. You're very welcome to contact me with any questions or to tell me a little about what you're looking for.
Sessions are available face-to-face from my therapy room in Widnes, with online counselling also available.
