About Louise
Louise Creswick is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem and life changes. Her approach also covers relationship strain, trauma, anger and career concerns.
She aims to create a warm and non-judgemental space for conversation. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical ways to cope between meetings. Louise believes the person in front of her knows their life best and adapts each session to reflect that.
Her work draws on client-centred principles, which put the client’s experience at the heart of the process. She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness when these suit a person’s goals. The mix of approaches is chosen to fit the issue being discussed rather than applied the same way every time.
Louise has five years of experience in therapeutic and mental health roles. She has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, fertility and fatherhood issues, and post-traumatic stress. She also helps those coping with separation, shame or a sense of emptiness.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical ideas to try between sessions and a focus on small, manageable steps. The therapist explains options and works with each person to set achievable goals. To begin, clients use the site process to match and book sessions.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities. In practice this means the counsellor listens with empathy and reflects back what matters to the client, helping them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to change patterns that cause distress, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and bring calm into daily life. These approaches are chosen to match what a client wants to work on and the therapist will discuss which methods seem most useful at the start and as therapy progresses. Finding the right fit is a collaborative process and adjustments are made based on the client's needs and goals.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session formats before booking. The main practical benefit of online therapy is fitting sessions into a busy life - it can reduce travel time and make it easier to schedule during work breaks or between family commitments. Online work also makes it possible to try exercises and homework straightaway in the client’s everyday setting, and the therapist will help shape sessions so they suit each person’s routine.
