About Louise
Louise Creswick helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. She also supports those facing life changes, relationship strains, trauma and career struggles. Louise speaks plainly and aims to make therapy approachable for someone who may be worried or unsure where to start.
She works in an integrative way, drawing on client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her, practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts, and simple exercises to calm the body and mind.
How Louise works
Louise explains options clearly and agrees the plan with each person she meets. Louise holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has five years of experience in therapeutic and mental health roles across different settings.
This background informs how she shapes sessions and tailors tools to fit a person’s situation. In a session she offers a warm, empathic and non-judgemental space. Conversations are paced to suit the individual and practical steps are given between meetings when helpful.
Her approach mixes gentle listening with focused work on goals and coping skills. Sessions can cover many issues including adoption and foster care, attachment and family of origin concerns, divorce and separation, fertility or fatherhood issues, shame or guilt, panic and post-traumatic stress. Louise helps people make sense of difficult experiences and take small steps toward feeling steadier.

Online support options
How Louise’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people feel heard and gradually find their own solutions to difficult situations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches simple steps to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has helped before, then try techniques that fit. That way sessions remain collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and build rapport when meeting remotely. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need a quick check-in, or want sessions that fit around busy days. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to use therapeutic tools between meetings.
