Louise Lant , BACP

Louise Lant trained as a counsellor in the United Kingdom and qualified in 2017, making a considered career change into therapeutic work that she describes as a privilege to practice. Over the years she has worked across a range of settings and developed experience helping people navigate stress and anxiety, boost self-esteem and confidence, manage family and relationship conflicts, and address parenting challenges. Her work also attends to issues such as communication difficulties, control concerns, loneliness, life purpose and midlife transitions, with a particular sensitivity to women’s issues and cultivating self-love.

Louise’s foundational training is in person-centred therapy, and that approach continues to guide her practice. She complements the person-centred stance with techniques drawn from solution-focused, compassion-focused and cognitive behavioural therapies to suit each client’s needs. In keeping with a person-centred philosophy, she places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of the work and aims to create an open, trusting space where clients can speak honestly about their feelings and goals. Louise believes people are the experts in their own lives and that they already possess strengths they can draw on; her role is to offer support and guidance to help access those resources and move toward a more fulfilling life. She holds BACP membership - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
