About Louis
Louis Carruthers is a BACP-registered counsellor with four years' practice in the United Kingdom. He works with adults on relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, family matters, anger, and career questions.
Louis sees people in person in London and online. He uses straightforward conversation to help people notice patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions focus on what is happening now, and how past experiences shape present reactions.
His training includes person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive, and relational approaches. He also draws on embodied and somatic ideas when working with trauma. That means paying attention to how feelings show up in the body as well as in thoughts and memories.
In practice Louis aims to match the method to the person. Some clients find talking through relationship dynamics most helpful. Others benefit from looking at unhelpful thinking or body-based work to reduce tension and reactivity.
Louis has worked in community safety, special educational needs, and housing for vulnerable tenants. He has experience supporting people involved with anti-social behaviour and the criminal justice system. He follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical framework (BACP).
How sessions work
Approach-focused online counselling and practical work
Louis draws on person-centred work that focuses on the client's current experience and psychodynamic ideas that look at how past relationships shape present reactions. Person-centred work helps people speak openly about feelings and priorities, while psychodynamic ideas can reveal patterns behind repeated anger or avoidance.He also uses embodied or somatic-informed techniques when trauma is involved, paying attention to bodily sensations and simple grounding skills. This kind of work can reduce intense physical reactions that feed anger and help people stay present during difficult conversations.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with the client and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and what feels workable in sessions. That conversation is part of the early work together and can change over time.
The biography lists in-person and online work but does not detail specific online formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel, and use different check-in styles such as shorter meetings or sessions without video when that suits practical needs.
