About Louise
Louise Smith is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, anger and depression. She also supports those dealing with addictions, intimacy concerns, self-esteem and career worries. She works with people who want practical ways to cope with life changes and long-standing patterns that cause distress.
Louise uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. She listens without judgement and helps clients make sense of difficult feelings. Her approach encourages people to spot what is already working for them and to build on those strengths.
She trained and practises with methods drawn from Client-Centred Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means she aims to offer a calm, attentive space and to support short-term goals where helpful. Mindfulness tools are used to manage strong emotions and reduce reactivity.
Louise is a registered member of the BACP, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. She has three years of professional experience working with people in the United Kingdom. Her experience includes helping clients through grief, addiction concerns and challenging life transitions.
Sessions are framed around what each person needs most. The focus is on practical steps and clearer day-to-day coping, not rapid fixes. Louise encourages people to decide the pace and goals of their own work.
How these approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers non-judgemental attention and follows the person’s lead to help them feel heard and clearer about what they want to change. This approach suits people who need space to make sense of emotions and decisions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce reactivity and lower stress. Practices can include short breathing or attention exercises to manage strong feelings and ground thinking. These tools help with anxiety, anger and situations that feel overwhelming. Solution-Focused Therapy centres on steps that move life forward. It looks for small, practical changes and builds on what already works. This can be useful for people seeking focused goals around relationships, work or coping strategies. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, and will help decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and can change as therapy progresses. Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and fewer travel demands. Online work can make short check-ins or regular sessions simpler to schedule around work or family commitments.
