I have been working with Louise for the last 6 months and I have made some profound realisations about myself with her help and guidance. Louise is very kind, but also asks challenging questions. I felt an immediate connection with her and that she understood my struggles, cared about helping me to navigate them and all the while we are able to have a good laugh. I highly recommend Louise, I am so grateful to have met her.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Louise has been so understanding and helpful over the past month I’ve been working with her. I feel very relaxed and open to discussing everything that is happening in my life currently, along with the upcoming changes. I would highly recommend Louise!
She is amazing to talk to and always finds a way to weave the conversation points into you discussion helping you come to the realisation of what's happened and what to do next its amazing. My time spent with her always feels useful.
I have been going through the most difficult time in my life the last few months, my husband has had a personality change and development a lot of problems and I had been so stressed and anxious before I reached out for help from better help and was matched with Louise. She has been instrumental in me getting to a turning point, working on how to put my own mental well-being as a priority and helping me to get a better understanding of my repressed emotions. I have already noticed an improvement in my stress and anxiety after only 3 sessions with Louise. She knows how to ask just the right questions and lead me to make realisations that I had been niggling under the surface for a long time. I’m so appreciative of all of her help and support.
I find Louise listens and understands before offering advice and support. I look forward to the session.
Ive only had one telephone session but so far Louise has been supportive and understanding. She is helping me to understand myself better and leading me to understand how i can make better choices and decisions.
So far it has been great working with Louise. I had one therapist before and the difference I see is that Louise truly listens and “gets” me. I have even got several friends and family to be interested in therapy based on how positively I have been speaking about my experience with her. I’m looking forward to continuing working with her!
Very professional, kind and a very patient listener
Louise is a fantastic therapist who listens and understands your need. She listens intently and remembers the smallest details. She was able to break down what I was going through, what I went through in a way that I was able to process it. She was very supportive and I highly recommend her when choosing a therapist
She has been incredibly insightful and helpful. It was both delightful and encouraging to chat with her. She strikes a great balance between being supportive while challenging my thought processes and I could not have found a better match.
