Hi, I'm Louise
A qualified coach and accredited Humanistic Gestalt counsellor based on the South Coast of England. I work creatively and relationally, supporting people to better understand themselves, their patterns, and what truly matters to them. I believe creativity opens up new perspectives, often allowing insight and change where words alone may feel limited.
My background
I integrate Gestalt counselling with Clean Language Coaching and now also offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), creating a dynamic, creative, and impactful therapeutic approach.
I’ve always been fascinated by what makes people tick. After a successful career in HR & marketing, I followed a growing passion for helping others become the best version of themselves and retrained as a coach. This journey naturally led me to qualify as a counsellor, allowing me to support clients more deeply by combining both skillsets. I have also recently completed my training as an EMDR practitioner*, an exciting addition that is particularly effective in working with anxiety, phobias, and trauma.
*Please note that EMDR may not be suitable for everyone and is subject to assessment at the outset of therapy.
