Louise Creswick is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports people facing relationship strain, work and career worries, trauma and anger. Her work includes focused support for issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.

She aims to create a warm, non-judgemental space where the client’s own experience guides the work.

Background and approach

Sessions are shaped around the person in front of her, with practical steps and gentle reflection used to make sense of difficulties. She emphasises collaboration and makes room for coaching-style conversations when clients want clear goals and action plans. Louise draws on client-centred methods that put the person’s perspective first.

She also uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to notice and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness approaches are offered to build grounding and calm when stress or panic arise. Her background includes five years working in therapeutic and mental health roles across the United Kingdom.

She combines that experience with coaching skills to help people move from feeling stuck to taking manageable next steps. Louise works in English and does not take international clients. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.

Sessions operate via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with cost varying by location and therapist availability.

How Louise’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions. This approach suits anyone who wants a non-judgemental space to make sense of feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises to spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding practices. These tools help with managing stress, reducing reactivity and staying present during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Louise will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then adapt methods to what feels most useful. She blends listening, practical exercises and coaching so the work fits the person’s life.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face without travel. Phone sessions suit those with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, shorter reflections or when a written format feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine and keep momentum between sessions.
