About Louise
Louise McAuley meets people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or big life changes. She is a counsellor who writes plainly and listens closely. Louise works to make the first steps feel manageable and supportive.
Louise trained and practised within the NHS and community settings for three years. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background informs a straightforward, practical approach to day-to-day problems.
Background and approach
Her sessions are warm and interactive. She combines client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes. Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the individual.
Louise helps people handle relationship strain, workplace pressure and caregiver stress. She also offers support for depression, post-traumatic stress, grief and pregnancy or childbirth concerns. Other areas include self-esteem, social anxiety, isolation and questions about life purpose or midlife adjustments.
Expect a collaborative plan that adapts over time. Louise focuses on clear goals and practical steps you can use between sessions. Her aim is to support and empower people as they move toward a more manageable, meaningful life.
