About Louise
Louise Bell helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She is a BACP counsellor who aims to make therapy direct and approachable. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what is still carried from the past.
Louise takes a personalised approach. She listens first to understand each person's story and what matters most to them. From there she and the client decide practical steps to reduce constant worry, manage flashbacks or release old hurts.
How Louise works
Conversations are plain and grounded rather than full of jargon. When trauma or narcissistic relationships are involved, Louise supports people to spot patterns and build clear boundaries. She also works on emotional regulation and self-worth, helping people find ways to feel more confident and calm in daily life.
Grief work is paced to match where someone is in their bereavement. Therapy includes hands-on strategies as well as reflective talking. Cognitive tools help change unhelpful thinking.
Client-centred listening offers space to be heard. Existential ideas are used when people want to make meaning after big life changes. Louise has three years of clinical experience.
She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging for people in the United Kingdom. Conversations are tailored to what each person needs and the practical pressures in their life.

Therapeutic approaches for online work and healing
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client's pace, which can help people who need space to talk and be heard about loss or low self-worth.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on linking thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns, which is useful for managing anxiety and stress in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences, and can adjust the focus as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging provide shorter check-ins or a way to reflect in writing between sessions. These options let people choose what works best for their schedule and communication style, while keeping therapy accessible across the United Kingdom.
