About Louise
Louise Phillipson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She brings three years of UK professional experience and a straightforward, compassionate manner. Her approach is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making the first step feel less daunting for a worried parent.
In sessions she places emphasis on the relationship with the person in front of her.
Background and approach
That means listening closely, helping people name what matters most, and working together to find practical ways forward. Conversations are held without judgement and with respect for each person’s experience. Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address a wide range of concerns.
She supports people with grief, addiction-related issues, sleep and eating difficulties, anger and low self-esteem, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. She also offers help with career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and issues relevant to first responders and hospice situations. Her practice is geared to make therapy accessible and manageable.
Sessions can explore worries about intimacy, LGBT concerns, coping with life changes, or parenting pressures. Louise will work at a pace that suits each person and focus on realistic steps to improve daily life. Working with her usually involves clear, practical conversations and agreed goals.
She encourages people to be curious about change, and supports them through setbacks and small wins along the way.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Louise draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape her work. One common approach focuses on talking through thoughts and feelings to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try alternative responses; this is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach emphasises problem-solving and practical steps to change daily routines and coping strategies, which can help with sleep, eating, parenting pressures and managing compassion fatigue.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to your goals and preferences, and agree on the methods that feel most helpful. That way the work reflects the person’s needs rather than a fixed plan.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep regular contact during change.
