About me
I am an accredited integrative therapist, ADHD coach and advocacy-informed practitioner offering therapy, coaching and advocacy support.
I offer both face-to-face and online support, creating a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly, feel heard, and begin to explore what is going on for you.
My work is grounded in warmth, compassion and respect for your individual experience. I understand that life can feel overwhelming at times, and that reaching out for support can feel like a big step.
I have over thirty years of experience supporting people through many different life challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, domestic abuse, relationship breakdown, loss, homelessness, emotional overwhelm, low confidence, ADHD, neurodivergence and difficult life transitions.
Together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, patterns, and experiences in a gentle way that creates understanding, self-awareness, and self-compassion. My approach is free from judgment and does not involve telling you what to do. Instead, it focuses on supporting you in making sense of your feelings, recognising your needs, and beginning to move toward positive change at your own pace.
I offer:
Face-to-face therapy
Online therapy
ADHD coaching
Advocacy support
Help with forms, letters and practical support needs
I also understand that starting therapy or coaching can feel daunting. You may feel unsure about what to say, where to begin, or whether support is right for you.
Please feel free to call, text, or email me to arrange a short, informal chat to discuss how I can support you. You can also find out more about me here: www.louise-montgomery.co.uk

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
