About me

Hi, I'm Louise. A qualified counsellor and registered member of the BACP, I offer one-to-one online and in-person counselling in a warm, supportive space where you can feel truly heard. Each session lasts 50 minutes and is designed around you—whether you’re looking for short-term guidance or longer-term support.

Your early adult years can be an exciting yet overwhelming time, full of big decisions, self-discovery, and unexpected challenges. Whether you’re navigating career uncertainty, building relationships, managing anxiety, or simply trying to figure out who you are and what you want, I’m here to help. In our sessions, we’ll create a safe, supportive space to explore your thoughts and feelings, work through stress, and build confidence in facing life’s twists and turns. Together, we’ll tackle whatever’s on your mind and help you move forward with clarity and purpose.

If you’re navigating the ups and downs of parenting, I’m here to help you tackle the tough moments. Whether you're adjusting to life with a new baby or managing the complexities of raising teenagers, we’ll work together to find clarity, confidence, and calm in the chaos.

Having worked as both a teacher and solicitor, I deeply understand the unique challenges professionals face. From the relentless demands of the workplace to the risk of burnout, together we can develop strategies to regain balance and thrive in high-pressure environments.

Grief is another journey I can support. With my experience working in a hospice, I offer gentle guidance to those coping with bereavement, helping you navigate your emotions and work towards finding a new normal.

My approach is integrative and person-centred, which means your unique needs and preferences shape the way we work together. Wherever you are in life, I’m here to help you move forward with compassion and care.

In-person sessions take place at Amber Health Clinic in Baldock.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
