About Louise
Louise Gillies is a counsellor who supports people with grief, parenting challenges, self-esteem and ADHD-related difficulties. She brings ten years of professional experience and works with issues such as fertility struggles, pregnancy and postpartum concerns, and the emotional effects of long-term illness. Louise aims to create a calm and open space where clients can talk through what matters to them at a manageable pace.
Her approach focuses on practical steps and clear conversation. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Client-Centred Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy shape how she listens and helps clients tune into their present experience.
Louise also helps people facing life changes such as menopause, retirement or new phases of parenting. She supports fathers and people dealing with communication problems, separation and issues around forgiveness and infidelity. Work often involves setting small, achievable goals and trying out new ways of coping between sessions.
Sessions are informed by an understanding of chronic pain, caregiving strain and the specific frustrations that can come with ADHD, like concentration and motivation challenges. The tone in sessions is down-to-earth and collaborative; the priority is finding realistic steps that fit everyday life.
She is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Sessions are carried out in English and international clients are accepted. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values; it is often used for low mood, anxiety, motivation and life-direction issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person lead the pace and topics of sessions; it can suit people who want a reflective, supportive space.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and tweak things if something does not feel helpful.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting or medical appointments, and it can reduce travel time. It may also allow shorter check-ins when needed or make it simpler to choose audio-only conversations if that suits someone better.
