About Louis
His training spans several approaches, including person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive, and relational methods, and his practice incorporates embodied and somatic techniques for working with trauma. This blend enables him to tailor therapy to the individual - matching methods to what helps each client most effectively.
Louis has experience addressing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, family difficulties, and relationship problems, and his ongoing professional development focuses particularly on intimacy issues and relational trauma. His background also includes work related to community safety, anti-social behaviour, special educational needs settings, and housing for vulnerable tenants, which informs his comfort in working with people affected by anti-social behaviour and aspects of the criminal justice system.
He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy
Louis commonly draws on cognitive approaches and relational work alongside embodied and somatic techniques for trauma. Cognitive approaches help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and are often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Relational work focuses on patterns in relationships and attachment, helping with communication problems, intimacy issues, and relational trauma. Embodied and somatic techniques attend to bodily experience and can support recovery from trauma where physical responses and dissociation are present.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Louis works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts methods as therapy progresses so the plan reflects each person’s changing priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone let clients meet from different locations, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter or more frequent check-ins. These formats can make therapy more accessible around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow licensed professionals and therapists to maintain continuity of care across distances.
