About Louise
Louise Gillies is a counsellor who helps people facing grief, fertility and pregnancy loss, early parenting challenges, self-esteem struggles and ADHD-related difficulties. She works with the emotional impact of chronic health conditions and supports people dealing with major life changes. Louise is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration.
With ten years of professional experience, she focuses on practical support. Sessions aim to feel calm and straightforward. Conversations move at each person's pace, and the work is shaped around what feels manageable.
Background and approach
Louise uses approaches that encourage clarity and action. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and act in line with their values. Client-Centred techniques are used to keep conversations person-led and respectful.
Mindfulness strategies help with concentration, stress and grounding in the present moment. She also offers solution-focused work when people want brief, goal-oriented sessions to tackle a specific problem. This can be useful for parenting stress, communication problems, fertility-related decision making or day-to-day difficulties with motivation and organisation.
People contact her for help with issues such as caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, divorce and separation, fatherhood challenges, postpartum depression, and making sense of transitions like menopause or retirement. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
