I've visited Louise for counselling sessions for a while now, and she has helped me a lot. I had not visited a counsellor/therapist before Louise, so sessions with Louise have been my only experience of counselling/therapy. I first got in touch because I thought it would be good to speak to a therapist/counsellor, but was particularly looking for integrative psychotherapists because after talking to friends I'd decided that I would like an approach that would be relatively light-touch/not too imposing/come from the belief that individuals hold the clues and solutions to themselves within themselves. After a few searches online I got in touch with Louise. Louise is empathetic, friendly, and reliable - and it's always good to see her. I've come to know myself better as a result of visiting Louise - having the space, prompting and support (and sometimes challenge) to think in different ways or about things which I had been reticent to contemplate previously. My communication (especially in relationships) has improved in general, and I feel more rooted/better aligned - and better equipped to identify and rectify sources of unhappiness - than I was a year or two ago before I sent her that first email. Don't be scared, counselling/psychotherapy is really helpful - and I always felt safe with Louise. read more
