About me
I firmly believe that “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the end.” (CS Lewis). I specialise in helping people who are struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, berevement and all forms of addiction.
Having grown up in a dysfunctional family in deep South London, and battling with my own demons, I decided to change from a creative career in a fast pace advertising agency and retrain as a psychotherapist.
At my core, I am empathic and kind which is blended with a straight talking and creative approach. I have a firm commitment to working with clients in interesting, effective and engaging ways. This can often include using a wide range of art materials to help explore unconscious thoughts and feelings.
I am able to work with individuals of different cultures, genders, sexual orientation and age, as well as groups and within a corporate setting.
If you are interested in working with me have a look at my website louiseperry.com and do get in touch for a free chat and we can both see how the chemistry between us feels.

Member organisations
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.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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.

Additional information
My fees start at £85 per session for 1-2-1 work. I can sometimes offer a few lower-cost therapy slots, but there is often a waiting list for these. Please don’t let cost put you off – I recognise the financial struggles many people are experiencing at the moment, so do get in touch and we can discuss your options if you feel I could be the right therapist for you.
