Louise Malyan
Practical, empathic therapy for people under strain
About Louise
Louise Malyan helps people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or who are dealing with addiction and relationship problems. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. Louise brings a down-to-earth style and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for people who are nervous about reaching out.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood difficulties, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem.
Background and approach
Relationship difficulties, anger, career stress and coping with life changes are also part of her practice. Louise is experienced in supporting people facing complex emotional reactions such as dissociation, attachment difficulties and codependency. Louise uses a mix of approaches to suit each person.
She draws on Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. Client-Centred methods guide sessions around each person’s priorities. Mindfulness ideas are used to build calmer, more present-focused awareness.
She also integrates elements of psychodynamic thinking to look at deeper patterns, and the Gottman method when relationship skills and communication need attention. Sessions can include talking, practical exercises and creative techniques when words alone do not feel enough. Louise holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years of professional experience.
She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to availability.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can gently unpack these patterns and help people try new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace, offering a listening space where the client leads the conversation and the counsellor follows their agenda. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that people can do between sessions to reduce anxiety and stay calmer.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Louise will discuss different methods with each person and together they will decide what feels most helpful. That collaborative process means approaches can change as needs and goals evolve over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy or geographically distant people. Video calls allow face-to-face contact when useful, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels too much, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into a short break or provide a steadier paced check-in. These options make it easier to keep continuity and adapt session style to whatever helps the client engage.
