About Louise
Louise Alexander is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression and issues around motivation and confidence. She also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and family concerns, eating issues, career changes and compassion fatigue, and has a particular focus on guilt and shame.
Louise begins by listening to what feels most urgent. She treats the client as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are conversational and plain; she talks through what is happening now and what might help next.
Her background includes multi‑setting practice across eight years, working with people after trauma and with ongoing anxiety or depressive symptoms. That experience shapes a practical approach that aims to make difficult feelings more manageable rather than label them.
In the room she helps people name and understand patterns that keep guilt and shame active. She works with concrete steps that can reduce overwhelm and support clearer choices. People often explore boundaries, self-talk and coping strategies during sessions.
Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts her way of working to each person’s pace. She offers sessions in English from the UK and does not take international clients. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire then schedule a first session.
Approaches that help with painful feelings
Louise works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and changing what keeps them going. One approach often used is trauma-informed work, which helps people notice how past events affect current emotions and reactions. Another common strand is skills-based work for anxiety and panic, teaching breathing, grounding and short coping strategies to reduce intense moments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses a person’s goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try. This is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

They also allow short check-ins when time is limited, and video or phone options can reduce travel and make scheduling simpler.
