Looking after our health and wellbeing is one of the most valuable things we can do in our life. At times this can be really challenging when we are facing hard situations personally or helping others as a parent/ carer/ friend/ partner or family member. My passion for more than 25years in health is to support a healing and restorative wellness that can be a foundational strength while navigating life’s journey.

I also offer "walk and talk" therapy around the amazing beaches of Newcastle, talking outdoors free of the confines of a stuffy office space. This is becoming increasingly popular form of therapy and is scientifically proven to boost mood and energy.

Lou is a Trauma-aware Counsellor using Somatic Therapies to bring the body and the mind into the counselling process. I think holistically about mental health. Wellbeing is a whole mind and body experience. If your mental health is out of balance, it’s likely your physical health is too. We work together to bring your mind, body and life, into harmony, allowing you to thrive rather than just survive. With a special interest in trauma, I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, sleep issues, relationship issues, emotional reactivity, difficulty connecting with feelings and the body, work stress and burn-out.

I'm a Mental Health Social Worker offering online support for adults and 'walk-and-talk' sessions in Newcastle. You might feel stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or perfectionism - constantly doing, but rarely feeling settled or enough. Maybe anxiety, stress, or low self-worth make it hard to connect with yourself or others. I offer a warm, grounded, trauma-informed space to gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we’ll work toward more clarity, confidence, and peace in both body and mind - so you can feel like yourself again, or maybe for the first time.

I use a combination of therapies, including CBT, Mindfulness, ACT, Compassion-Focused Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing.
Your nervous system is designed to heal! I know it's sometimes hard to imagine what life could be like without anxiety, stress, depression, burnout, the same repeating challenges in relationships, at work, with family, etc. Awareness and mindset work is always great, it is a necessary, ongoing part of the process, but alone it doesn't always reach the deeper roots of the issue. Unless we address the underlying patterns in the nervous system, sustainable change can feel so hard, sometimes impossible. But your body knows how to heal and it's always communicating with you.
