About me
From overwhelm to clarity, calm and confidence - with someone who gets ADHD and autism.
I’m Louise Keyes, a counsellor, Certified ADHD-informed coach and Accredited Advanced EFT practitioner. I support adults who feel stressed, anxious, burnt out or “too much”, especially those navigating autism, ADHD or AuDHD.
- My approach is warm, steady and emotionally safe. We work with your brain, not against it - gently untangling overwhelm, building confidence and helping you feel more grounded in who you are.
Many of my clients come to me because they:
- feel constantly overwhelmed or overstimulated
- struggle with self-esteem or identity
- mask until they’re exhausted
- feel misunderstood or “different”
- want calmer nervous systems and clearer lives
As an autistic ADHDer myself, I understand the emotional landscape from the inside. Together we explore what’s going on beneath the surface - the stress, the shame, the stuckness - and help you move towards feeling more regulated, understood and empowered.
What sessions feel like
- gentle, grounded and non-judgemental
- paced for your nervous system
- space to breathe, think and be yourself
- practical support for ADHD-related challenges
- EFT available when helpful
A little about me
I'm a born-and-bred Geordie (without the accent!), lover of all things blue, terrible ukulele player, 1960s Star Trek fan, cloud-spotter and board-game nerd.

Member organisations
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
