About Louise
Louise Creswick is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports concerns such as relationship strain, anger, career uncertainty and trauma-related difficulties.
Her approach draws on client-centred principles alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That means sessions focus on listening to what matters to the person, trying out practical ways to manage unhelpful thoughts and practising simple attention and breathing skills where useful. Sessions are conversational and aim to be plainly useful.
Louise names adoption and foster care, attachment issues, fatherhood concerns and family of origin problems among areas she addresses. She also works with people dealing with infertility, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, loneliness, and questions about life purpose. Panic attacks and post-traumatic stress are included in her stated areas of focus.
She describes her role as combining counselling and coaching skills so people can both talk things through and set goals when they want to. The format and pace are adjusted to the person in front of her, using CBT and mindfulness tools when they fit.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients. Fees vary by location, and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens carefully and follows the topics the client brings. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through life events, identity questions or relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence feelings. It uses straightforward exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks and improve mood by changing patterns that keep problems going.
Mindfulness Therapy offers attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve focus. These short practices can help with stress, rumination and grounding after difficult experiences.
Working out which approach or mix of approaches fits best is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That means sessions can be more practical or more exploratory depending on what helps.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts, commuting or other commitments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight or use of audio-only contact if bandwidth is limited, so sessions fit everyday life rather than the other way around.
