Louise Wilkinson

I am an experienced and qualified counsellor working with young people and adults experiencing difficulties including anxiety, stress, low mood, relationship issues, substance and alcohol related needs and adverse childhood experiences, including historic sexual exploitation. I qualified as a counsellor in 2013 and have over twenty years experience working with young people and adults with emotional health related needs. 

I have an integrative and responsive approach to counselling which is underpinned by the foundations of person-centred theory. I have a warm and friendly manner and aim to provide you with a safe and confidential space to explore your thoughts and feelings and work alongside you to support you with your difficulties and find a way forward that is best for you. I am dedicated and passionate about my role as a counsellor and firmly believe you are at the centre of the counselling process.

I work in both private practice and for a well-respected children and families charity and have over twenty years experience working with young people and adults who have emotional health and wellbeing needs and/or complex substance related needs. 

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and offer brief and longer-term private counselling to people aged 14+. 

In my current role, I manage a team of young people’s counsellors and emotional health and wellbeing practitioners and hold a small caseload of young people accessing our counselling service. I am also a qualified and highly experienced substance misuse practitioner who has worked within an award winning child sexual exploitation team and within youth justice services. 

I'm very happy to have an informal chat if you would like to know more about how I may be able to help. Please get in touch by email, text or phone to arrange a free initial, no obligation telephone consultation.

I am currently undertaking a Level 6 Advanced Diploma in Clinical Supervision and offer reduced rate sessions to qualified counsellors, those working in a helping profession (incl: NHS staff, mental health practitioners, teachers, pastoral staff and youth workers)  and to student counsellors seeking secondary supervision. Please contact me for further details.  

I am based within a few minutes walk from Radcliffe tram station and parking is available in the immediate vicinity.

I offer reduced rates to student counsellors requiring counselling as part of their qualification and also offer a limited number of reduced rate sessions each year. Please email me to discuss this further.
