About Louise
Louise Smith is a counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger and problems with addiction. She also supports people dealing with self‑esteem, career pressures and the life changes that follow separation or loss.
Louise keeps sessions simple and direct. She listens and helps people make sense of strong emotions. Conversations often focus on small, practical steps to manage feelings and daily pressures. She encourages clients to draw on their own strengths while trying new ways of coping.
Her approach makes space for exploring attachment, abandonment and communication problems. She also works with issues such as body image, codependency, control or commitment difficulties, and complex mood or dissociation experiences. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises or problem‑solving tasks to reduce overwhelm.
The counselling is influenced by client‑centred and solution‑focused ideas, with mindfulness used to help calm racing thoughts. Louise explains techniques plainly and checks in about what is helpful. She aims for clear, achievable practices rather than lengthy theory.
Practical matters are discussed at the start so sessions fit with day‑to‑day life. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session through the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How Louise uses therapeutic approaches online
Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people feel understood and notice their own resources, which can be useful for stress, relationship strain and low self‑esteem.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention exercises to calm the body and mind. Short practices can reduce anxiety and help with overwhelming feelings after loss or big life changes.
Solution‑focused work looks for small, practical changes that move a person toward their goals. It suits issues where people want clear steps to try between sessions, such as improving communication or managing anger.
Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options, try different methods and check what is most useful for the client’s needs and preferences. That process continues across early sessions so methods can be adjusted together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit counselling around everyday life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule shorter check‑ins or regular weekly sessions. It also makes it practical to use brief mindfulness exercises or problem‑solving tasks between meetings.
