Louise Smith , BACP

Louise Smith is a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She is licensed in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience supporting people through a range of difficulties.

She works with clients who are coping with stress and anxiety, navigating relationship challenges, managing grief and loss, and addressing anger. Her approach emphasizes helping people make sense of their feelings and equipping them with practical skills to manage difficult emotions and move forward in life.

Louise believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths can be drawn on to meet current challenges. She aims to teach tools that support coping and personal growth and to offer the encouragement many people need when they take the first step toward therapy. Louise recognises the courage involved in starting this work and is supportive of clients who reach out for help.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgemental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. It helps people explore feelings, build self-understanding, and find their own solutions to relationship, grief, or life-change difficulties.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed by them. This approach can support stress and anxiety management by helping clients relate differently to difficult emotions and increase present-moment awareness.

Louise will work collaboratively with each client to identify which approach or combination of approaches fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic style is part of the process, and she supports clients in deciding what feels most helpful as therapy unfolds.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for scheduling around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier for clients to attend regularly, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access a licensed professional from a convenient location.
