I work in collaboration with you to create a treatment plan. I draw on a combination of evidence-based modalities – depending on what feels right for you.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Understand your thoughts and feelings and choose behaviour based on your values. Manage anxiety, depression,
substance abuse, chronic pain and intrusive, unwanted thoughts.

Reduce stress, anxiety, traumatic responses and overwhelming thoughts, feelings and sensations with body-based techniques such as breathwork, grounding and progressive muscle relaxation.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Identify, understand, explore and transform your emotions, connecting you with your inner world and other people, to restore your vitality and deepen your relationships.

Build skills and develop behaviours to strengthen your relationships, to you better manage depression, grief or life transitions.

My sessions generally include a psychoeducation component so you can better understand your mental health and the way different treatments work.

Understand your motivations and resolve what's holding you back from change.

Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)

Motivational interviewing

Psychoeducation

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills

Skills like mindfulness and distress tolerance help you manage stress and ‘triggers’ so you can be more comfortable with your emotions and thoughts and communicate effectively.

Somatic approaches

Louise is an exceptional counsellor who has made a real difference. From the beginning she created a safe, supportive space where I felt truly heard and understood. She listens empathetically and offers thoughtful guidance that has helped me see things more clearly.

I appreciate how she gently challenges my thinking in ways that encourage growth without making me feel judged. I'm truly grateful for the support and insight she provides on my journey.
