About Louise
Drawing on a blend of evidence-informed methods, Louise offers a calm, empathetic space to explore feelings of overwhelm, low mood, relationship strain, and life transitions. She works collaboratively to identify unhelpful patterns, strengthen coping skills, and develop realistic steps for change that fit each person’s life and responsibilities.
Louise holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional commitment to ongoing development and ethical practice. She is experienced at supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem challenges, and the practical stresses of parenting and career pressures. Her approach aims to help clients gain clarity, build resilience, and find a more sustainable way of living without having to shoulder everything alone.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Louise Shepherd frequently draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy in her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, non-judgmental relationship where the person’s own perspective guides the pace of work - it is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life changes. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Louise works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, balance therapy with work or family responsibilities, and access skilled support from licensed professionals and therapists without travel barriers.
