Welcome. I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor working with adults, couples and families. My theoretical background is psychodynamic and systemic allowing me to work with what is happening within the individual as well as between the individuals. Due to my training, I can work with you as an individual, as a couple, or as a family, including with children and young people. I always keep you as the centre of the work and respect you as the expert on your life.

I believe that many of our difficulties stem from processes laid down in our early years through a combination of factors - from genes through to care or the lack of it, through to various types trauma and abuse. I believe that understanding how our thoughts, feelings, emotions and behaviours have arisen from this past is a life enhancing way to heal, change and grow. It can lead to feeling more in control, to managing moods and feeling healthy. Ultimately it can lead to a sense of self fulfillment. A non-blaming non-critical approach is core to my practice, and I work to encourage safeness and trust in a therapeutic relationship.

Hello, I'm Louise, I'm a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist offering individual therapy sessions to adults on a short or long-term basis.

Being human is mostly hard and life can be cruel. We see it time and time again. Bad things happen to good people, and we suffer. Each and every one of us at some point in our lives, finds ourselves lost and stuck. We can get depressed, anxious, angry, defensive and frightened. We can often avoid the things that bring us pain and as time goes on that list gets longer and longer and our life can feel smaller and smaller. Reaching out for help can be the hardest first step, but it's also the bravest and will prove to be one of the best decisions you will make for yourself.
