About Louise
Louise Gillies is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing grief, parenting challenges, low self esteem and ADHD-related difficulties. She works with those coping with fertility problems, pregnancy loss, and the emotional impact of chronic illness. Louise aims to create a calm, open space where people can speak honestly and find steady ways forward.
She uses a gentle, client-centred style that follows the person’s lead. Sessions move at each client’s pace and focus on practical steps that fit daily life. Louise also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people live in line with their values and manage distress in the moment.
Her practice includes support for common life transitions such as the empty nest, menopause and retirement. She helps people make sense of change and plan what comes next in clear, manageable stages. Communication problems, divorce and separation, and fatherhood issues are among the wider concerns she addresses.
Louise has ten years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. That is the credential shown for her practice. Sessions are carried out in English and she works with international clients as noted.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Louise works from a client-centred foundation, which means the conversation follows what matters most to the person. The therapist listens closely and supports people to make choices that feel authentic and achievable in everyday life.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values. ACT can be useful for grief, chronic health challenges and motivation issues. Mindfulness therapy is another strand she draws on; it teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, low mood and some ADHD-related concentration struggles.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will choose which methods to try and when. This collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to suit quieter moments, lower-bandwidth needs or simpler phone conversations depending on what each person prefers.
