About Louise
Louise Alexander is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with eight years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and confidence. She also works with depression and related concerns such as panic, isolation and shame.
She listens to each person’s story and treats them as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills alongside talking through what has been difficult. Louise pays attention to how daily routines, relationships and past events feed into current struggles.
Her background includes several years of hands-on work supporting people through stressful life changes and recovery after sexual assault and other trauma. This practical experience informs how she sets goals and plans sessions with people. She aims to use clear, straightforward language and simple exercises that can be practised between meetings.
Louise often addresses feelings linked to abandonment, guilt and shame, and seasonal low mood. She also supports people facing addictions, workplace stress, and the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Wherever relevant, she works on rebuilding confidence for speaking up and meeting new people.
People who choose to work with her should expect a collaborative approach that mixes conversation with manageable tasks. To begin, readers are asked to use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can discuss goals and session structure.
Approaches Louise may use and how online sessions fit
Louise works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and talking. One common approach is structured problem-focused work that breaks down worries into manageable steps and practices. This helps with panic, social anxiety and everyday stress by teaching short exercises and breathing or grounding techniques to try in the moment.Another typical approach involves processing past events through guided conversation and paced exposure to feared situations. This can help people reduce avoidance and slowly build confidence around social situations or memories that cause distress. These descriptions reflect the kinds of techniques used in evidence-based practice rather than named certifications.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Louise aims to collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options in the first sessions and adapt plans as things progress.
