Louise draws on client-centred, existential and psychodynamic ideas in her work. That means she listens closely, helps people reflect on meaning and relationships, and looks at patterns that might be getting in the way. The overall aim is to find practical steps and new perspectives that fit each person's life.
People who choose to work with Louise can expect a respectful, straightforward approach. The focus is on helping people manage current problems while building a clearer sense of direction for the future.
How Louise's approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings. It helps with stress, low self-worth and everyday struggles by centring the client's experience. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice and values. It can help people facing life changes, grief or questions about purpose by encouraging honest reflection and responsibility.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas fit best. She aims to match methods to a client's goals, background and what feels most useful in sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life. It can allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, avoid travel time, and offer alternatives when meeting in person is difficult. Talk with the counsellor about how sessions might work for your routine and preferences so arrangements suit your day-to-day needs.
