About me
My name is Louisa, and I am a qualified counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist based in Nailsea or online.
If you feel caught in unwanted patterns of behaviour, negative thinking or habits that seem difficult to break, I can help you move towards meaningful and lasting change.
Together, we can explore the strengths and resources you already have within you, helping you develop new ways of thinking, feeling and responding. Through a combination of counselling, solution-focused therapy and clinical hypnotherapy, I can support you to break unhelpful cycles, build more positive patterns and develop practical skills for everyday life. My aim is to help you feel more empowered, confident and in control, so you can move forward towards a more fulfilling, balanced and enriching life.
I offer a free no-obligation initial consultation to discuss your situation and a chance for you to explore how I could help you so please get in touch to arrange your consultation. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

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.
