About Louise
Louise Smith is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). She has three years of professional practice in the United Kingdom and works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, anger and similar concerns.
Louise offers straightforward, focused conversations that aim to make feelings easier to understand. She listens without rushing and helps people notice what already works for them. Sessions look at practical ways to cope day to day and to manage strong emotions more clearly.
Her approach is influenced by client-centred work. That means the person she sees leads the topics and pace, while she reflects and gently steers discussion towards what matters most. She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help ground attention in the present moment and reduce overwhelm.
Solution-focused ideas are used when someone wants to try short-term change. These techniques identify small steps and realistic goals to build confidence and momentum. For people dealing with relationship strain, attachment worries or problems like codependency, this combination aims to make practical shifts in how they relate and set boundaries.
Louise has worked with a range of concerns including addictions, body image, bereavement, career stress, and coping with life changes. She works in English and practises in the UK. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session options and any logistics they need to plan for.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflection. The person sets the agenda and the counsellor supports exploration of what matters most, which can help with conversational anxiety and relationship worries.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and calm the nervous system. These exercises are useful for stress, panic and situations that trigger strong feelings in social settings.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps that move a person toward their goals. It suits people who want clear, short-term progress with manageable actions.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and will try different ways of working to find what fits. That decision is collaborative and revisited as needed.
Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting conversations around work and family commitments and reducing travel time. If specific session formats are required, confirm the current options before booking so they match your routine. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, use audio only when video is difficult, or schedule sessions at times that suit everyday life.
