About Louise
Louise Smith is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) with three years of UK practice. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief, anger and depression among other concerns. Sessions focus on helping people understand their feelings and develop coping tools for everyday life.
Louise uses a client-centred stance that treats the person as the expert in their own story. She listens for what matters most and helps people notice their strengths. That approach is paired with mindfulness techniques to calm reactivity and solution-focused ideas to set practical next steps.
In the room she aims to make things straightforward. Conversations look at what is happening now, what patterns keep repeating, and small changes that can reduce tension and conflict. People often leave with specific skills to manage frustration and to plan clearer, kinder responses when they feel triggered.
She also supports practical issues such as work stress, problems with intimacy, addictions and life changes like divorce or bereavement. Louise mentions additional focus on attachment issues, codependency and body image when they come up in sessions. Her work is best described as practical and conversational rather than highly technical.
Sessions are conducted in English in the United Kingdom. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment via the online booking flow.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the centre of sessions. It involves listening closely and helping people articulate what matters to them, which can help with anger rooted in relationships or life stressors. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and notice early signs of rising anger. These techniques are useful for managing outbursts and settling the body and mind. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete next steps and small goals. It helps people identify what changes would make a difference and then try practical experiments between sessions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice can shift as practical issues and progress become clearer during sessions.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use approaches like mindfulness exercises or brief goal-setting tasks from wherever they are, helping them practise new responses to anger in everyday contexts.
