About
Louis is an integrative psychotherapist who offers ongoing individual psychotherapy to people of all kinds. They specialise in working with LGBTQIA+ people and their families, people in non-normative relationships, workers in the sex industry, and others whose experiences of marginalisation have affected their mental health and access to affirmative treatment. They are passionate about exploring the intersections of individual mental health and systemic forces, and helping clients to find congruent and meaningful ways of understanding their experiences and navigating the world.
Louis's psychotherapeutic education was built upon a framework of Person-Centred Therapy, attachment repair, and trauma therapy. They draw on training in modalities including Emotion-Focused Therapy, Focusing, Existential Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy among others, depending on the specific needs and goals of each client.
