About Louise

Louise Bell is a counsellor who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She meets people where they are and focuses on what matters most to them. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person's needs.

She takes a personalised approach, looking at how past events still affect day-to-day life. Sessions often involve talking through what someone is carrying and identifying practical steps to ease that burden.

Background and approach

Techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy are used alongside trauma-focused work to build coping skills and manage unhelpful thoughts. Existential ideas also shape the work, helping people reflect on meaning, choice and identity after loss or difficult relationships. This can help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about the next step.

Louise offers practical coaching on boundary setting when people are dealing with narcissistic behaviour or difficult separations. Grief and bereavement are approached gently, with space given to both immediate emotion and longer-term adjustment. The counsellor pays attention to shame, guilt and isolation and helps people find ways to rebuild self-worth and connection.

Sessions are tailored to each person’s pace and goals, and practical skills are emphasised alongside reflective work. Louise aims to help people feel less burdened and more able to move forward with renewed purpose.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate online

Existential therapy helps people consider meaning, choice and identity after loss or difficult relationships. Online sessions use conversation and reflective questions to help clients clarify what matters and decide on next steps.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor listens deeply and follows the client’s lead to build trust and self-understanding, which can be effective in remote sessions where openness matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online work often includes short exercises, thought records and practical homework to manage anxiety, low mood and stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods as the relationship develops. This shared planning helps match techniques to what actually helps the client.

Online sessions provide practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit short check-ins, and text-based messaging works for ongoing prompts and reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments while maintaining steady progress.
