Louise Muir

Life is often complicated; the changes we face can be the most challenging times; testing our resolve and depleting our inner-strengths.

Sometimes, we struggle through alone until we find our way, but… then there are those ‘other times’, when we may need someone else to sit with our feelings, to hear our thoughts and to understand our concerns.

The idea of counselling may feel daunting, it’s not unusual to feel apprehensive; it can require courage to talk with a stranger, to accept that your needs are valid, and to prioritise self-care.

As your counsellor, my primary focus is you and how best I can support you to explore your situation.

I offer a safe and supportive space for you to share your thoughts and emotions, without any fear of being judged.

As an integrative counsellor, I combine different therapeutic ideas in order to guide my work, offering a bespoke counselling experience which adapts to your needs and circumstances.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including low self-esteem, motivational or confidence issues, stress, anxiety, and those coping with life changes.  Additionally, I have worked with many individuals living with disability or health conditions.

I offer the choice of face-to-face, telephone or video sessions.  All sessions are an hour in length and the total number of sessions is not limited.

I carry out a pre-therapy phone call in order to establish your counselling needs and answer any questions.  This lasts no more than 15 minutes, and there is no charge nor obligation to proceed with therapy.

During our first counselling session, I will seek to better understand your reasons for counselling, establish your goals for therapy and begin to hear your story.
