Background and approach
That might include practising new ways of handling stress or learning different communication skills. Louise also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse. She pays attention to how past hurts affect day-to-day life and helps people find ways to feel steadier and more in control.
Topics can include dissociation, sexual assault and abuse, domestic violence, and feelings of emptiness or shame. Relationship concerns and fatherhood issues are part of her work too. Sessions can cover communication problems, repairing trust, and managing the emotional impact of family difficulties.
The aim is to help people make practical changes that improve daily life. Louise is registered with NCPS, which is noted as her listed credential. Sessions are carried out in English and offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Louise's approaches translate to online therapy
Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach she draws on helps people learn skills to manage stress and anxiety by breaking problems into small, manageable parts and practising new responses. Another approach she applies supports recovery from trauma by helping people understand how past events affect current feelings and behaviours, then building steady coping strategies.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made or needs change.
Online therapy with Louise is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter conversations or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments, and daily routines.
