Louise Phillipson helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of related concerns. She is straightforward and warm in her approach. Louise aims to make it easier to talk about hard things and to find small changes that make life feel better.

Louise keeps conversations practical and down to earth. Sessions focus on the relationship between counsellor and client and on respecting each person's experience.

Background and approach

She listens without judgement and works with people to identify what matters most to them. That can mean finding ways to manage overwhelming feelings, improving communication, or coping with grief and loss. She holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her practice includes work around eating and sleeping issues, addictions, intimacy-related concerns, bipolar and depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. There is also experience supporting people who are first responders and those facing hospice and end-of-life issues. Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on finding approaches that fit each person.

Sessions are practical and goal-minded while remaining compassionate. She encourages clients to try changes at a manageable pace and to bring everyday problems into the room. People can expect an approachable counsellor who listens and offers clear, sensible steps forward.

The emphasis is on realistic coping strategies and steady progress, not quick fixes. Louise aims to make therapy a useful part of everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Louise draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage feelings and solve problems. One common approach is focused problem-solving and coping skills work, which teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, regulate mood, and improve sleep. This is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and day-to-day challenges.

Another approach emphasises building a strong therapeutic relationship and using that connection to process trauma, grief, or relational difficulties. This involves talking through experiences, naming emotions, and trying small changes in how people communicate or respond to stress. It can help with trauma and with repairing or improving relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which techniques match a person's goals, concerns and preferences. That means checking in regularly and adjusting the way sessions are run if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and routines. Video is useful for a deeper face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for quick check-ins, and messaging allows shorter, ongoing support between calls. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or other commitments.
