About me
Hi, I’m Louise. Are you struggling with anxiety, low mood, an eating disorder, relationship issues, grieving a loss or simply sensing there’s more to life, therapy can be a valuable space to explore and address these challenges. In addition to the above I'm interested and experienced working with neurodivergence. Therapy can be a great place to explore this, understand more, and develop compassion and coping strategies.
The focus is very much on you, and our relationship, our human-to-human interactions. We will work at your pace, building trust as we navigate both sessions and the process together. Our work can be based in the present or seek to explore the past. My approach is evidence based and underpinned by relevant training. I care that you achieve what you want from therapy. Feedback from previous clients regularly highlights their progress made, a sense of safety in the relationship when talking about difficult things, as well as the importance of having a sense of me as a person. I aim to be supportive and open, accepting and encouraging of thoughts and feelings, direct when needed but also compassionate and real.
As a therapist, I have experience working within organisations including both charity and an NHS clinical setting (treating a variety of eating disorders including binge eating and ARFID). In addition to the above I work in private practice.
My approach is integrative, this means that I can work in a flexible and adaptive way with methods that best suit you. I work from a person-centred base whilst drawing on CBT (ACT), attachment theory and compassion theory.
If you are interested in the possibility of working together then I offer a free 30 minute introductory consultation (telephone/online). This is an opportunity to share what you would like to explore and for us to decide whether we feel that we can work together and whether I have the right experience/approach. You can contact me by text/WhatsApp (07740877629)

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.
