Louise Jeanette Evans
Counsellor, ACA-L2

Do you find yourself constantly walking on eggshells, second-guessing your own judgment, or feeling trapped in a relationship where something feels wrong but you can't quite name it? Many women in controlling or emotionally abusive relationships struggle to recognize these patterns, often blaming themselves or feeling they just need to try harder. As a walk and talk therapist, I offer a unique space where you can begin to trust your instincts again, rediscover your strength, and move forward - literally and metaphorically - toward the life you deserve.

Do you feel fundamentally broken? Do you find yourself falling back into people pleasing or controlling behaviours, even though you really want to change them? Do you keep finding yourself in relationships with the same sorts of people or in the same type of dynamic? Lasting change can be possible by being gently curious about what parts are bringing us back into our old patterns, and what beliefs or emotions those parts carry. With practice and insight, you can be aware which parts are driving your actions and compassionately make new choices.

Sometimes life feels harder to carry than it once was. You may have been managing for a long time, doing your best to keep going, while something, sometimes not even obvious, underneath has become increasingly difficult. Maybe you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, exhausted or just not your usual self. You may not even be sure what you need, only that you'd like things to feel better. But you know what? You don't need to have everything worked out before reaching out. Sometimes it helps just to have somewhere to begin: a place to slow things down, make sense of what's been happening, and find a way through that feels right for you.

Strategic psychotherapy is a brief therapy which is solution-focused and outcome-based. It focuses on HOW you do what you do and not WHY. I won’t be delving into your past and seek “reasons” (ie tough childhood), I uncover and address the very pillars you have unconsciously developed that create and sustain the problem. The integration of hypnotherapy accelerates the therapeutic outcomes. Clients experience relief more rapidly, as the hypnotic state enhances receptivity to change, streamlining the path to recovery.
