About Me

Hi there. I’m Louise, a psychotherapist, hypnotherapist, coach and wellbeing practitioner with over 16 years’ experience supporting others.
I use a personalised and multi-modal approach that weaves together a variety of therapies, supporting both mind and body and based on the most up to date research with a view to creating lasting change. The support I offer can help you to improve low mood, release stress, reduce anxiety, cope with change and navigate challenges, build resilience and confidence, restore balance and harmony, create positive change and transformation; thereby reconnecting you with purpose, meaning and your authentic self.
How I Work
My way of delivering therapy is gentle, collaborative and centred around helping you feel safe, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change. I offer tailored therapy that recognises you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms or a problem to solve. Every individual brings their own history and way of experiencing the world, so our sessions are shaped around helping you explore what you need most in this moment and working with you to make this a reality. Together, we explore your world and experiences and find the tools and techniques that feel right for you.
My Background
My previous therapeutic experience includes working as an Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Counsellor, delivering evidence-based psychotherapy to clients referred through NHS primary care.
Alongside my private practice offering a combination of psychotherapy, coaching and holistic therapies to individuals presenting with a wide range of needs, I also offer consultancy as part of the team at Stratego Consulting.
I continue my organisational work within the Higher Education sector where I develop policy, advise, train and support staff on complex welfare, safeguarding, crisis, behavioural and disability-related issues pertaining to students within accommodation settings.
Within Higher Education, I also provide professional and personal coaching to staff, focused on enhancing their personal effectiveness and performance.
What You Can Expect
People often come to me when they feel low, anxious, afraid, overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to change. My role is to help you to understand yourself and how you interact with others more deeply so that you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and renewed wellbeing.
With my multi-faceted skillset, evidence-informed practice, and calm, person-focused approach, I work closely with young adults, adults, older adults and organisations to navigate challenges, build resilience and confidence, restore and maintain balance and harmony, and create positive change and transformation.
