About me
About Me
Hi, I'm Louise. I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to your individual needs. I recognise that every person is unique, and there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to therapy.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming — whether you’re experiencing anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, loss, or feeling stuck.
I have over 20 years' professional experience supporting people with learning disabilities. I bring personal experience of ADHD, AuDHD and autism to my practice.
Perhaps you've spent much of your life feeling different, misunderstood or overwhelmed, or feeling like you need to fit into a world that doesn't quite make sense. You may be exploring a recent diagnosis of autism, ADHD, AuDHD, and struggling with the impact of neurodivergence on your relationships, confidence, emotions or everyday life.
I offer a warm, accepting, neurodiversity-affirming space where you don't need to pretend, mask, or have everything figured out. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, explore what's happening for you — at your own pace, without judgement.
How can I help?
I work particularly with adults experiencing:
- ADHD and autism
- Neurodivergence and the challenges of late diagnosis
- Anxiety, overwhelm and emotional regulation
- Low self-esteem and self-worth
- Burnout and exhaustion
- Difficulties with relationships and communication
- Life changes and transitions
- Trauma and difficult past experiences
- Feeling different, isolated or misunderstood
You don't need to have a formal diagnosis to explore these experiences in therapy. If you're questioning whether you may be neurodivergent, we can explore what you're experiencing without judgement.
I aim to build a therapeutic relationship based on:
Empathy
Authenticity
Respect
Collaboration
Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications.
- Integrative Counselling Diploma: Dip HE ( level 5)
- Learning Disability Nurse (RNLD)
Who I work with
I have a varied and wide-reaching experience, which includes supporting people experiencing depression, the impact of difficult relationships or family experiences, domestic abuse, stress, anxiety and low self-esteem, grief and bereavement, PTSD and C-PTSD with a particular specialism in neurodiversity. In our first sessions, we'll move together at a pace that feels right for you.
How I work
In our first session, we'll explore what brings you here and what feels most important to you. My integrative approach may include various forms of self-expression, in addition to talking therapy, such as using objects, writing, or movement. Together, we'll discover what feels most helpful for you.
I take payment by bank transfer and offer a free 30-minute call—please feel free to get in touch.

Further information
I am a registered member of the National Counselling Society (NCPS), and this commitment to ethical, grounded practice is woven into everything I do. At the heart of my work is a wish to offer a space where you can simply arrive as yourself — without pressure, without expectation.
I offer one-to-one sessions, which can be in person, online or by telephone. This can be short-term or long-term. I offer a free 30-minute online or phone introduction, where we can discuss what has brought you to counselling and see if we would be a good fit to work together.
