About Louise
Louise Brannan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on five years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression and major life changes. Her manner is warm and respectful and she focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions to feel steadier.
She begins by listening to what matters most and then tailors conversations to each person's needs.
Background and approach
Sessions include talking through thoughts and emotions, learning small exercises, and trying tools that support change. The aim is to help people move toward clearer choices and better day-to-day coping. Louise has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems and anger.
She also supports people with longer-term issues such as bipolar, ADHD, chronic pain, caregiver stress and cancer-related challenges. Her practice addresses both emotional distress and practical life problems. Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused.
She helps clients set realistic steps and checks progress as therapy continues. People who feel stuck or overwhelmed are invited to explore new perspectives and small, manageable changes. Louise offers sessions in English and accepts clients located outside the United Kingdom.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to her availability.

How Louise works online
Another common approach emphasises talking through emotions and life events while developing practical tools to manage day-to-day challenges. This can help with grief, trauma-related reactions, relationship concerns and managing symptoms of conditions such as bipolar or ADHD. These therapies pair conversation with at-home exercises to reinforce change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor works collaboratively to learn what matters to the client, then agrees on goals and methods together. That means adjusting techniques if something does not feel like the right fit and tracking progress over time.
Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not specify them. In general online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits help people keep continuity with therapy while they try new ways of coping.
