Counselling for Seniors in Holmfirth
Hi I’m Louise, I help people feel safe to express & release their stuck emotions by using a gentle somatic approach to trauma therapy so that they are free to be their true selves in the world.
I'm a specialist in working with anxiety, panic & symptoms of trauma. Trauma can be any stressful life event where we feel hopeless or overwhelmed. It may leave you feeling; jumpy or easily startled, experience flashbacks, nightmares or physical symptoms. You may not remember anything about it, feel disconnected from your body or numb.
If it's exhausting just getting through the day or you want to stop certain coping mechanisms, reach out.

Therapy with warmth, humour, and a brew.
A warm drink can be comforting, but it doesn’t magically fix the overwhelm, the masking, the relationship patterns, or the weight of old wounds. What it CAN do is help us slow down, breathe, and begin to explore things together at your pace.
I work in a deeply person‑centred, trauma-informed and collaborative way, often with a cup of tea in hand; creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
I have completed ADHD‑Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD‑CCSP) Training, and I’m currently undertaking Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS) training.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
