About Louise

Louise Malyan offers calm, down-to-earth support for people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She meets clients with direct, practical conversation and gentle encouragement so they can talk through what matters most. Louise uses simple, clear steps that help people take the next small action toward feeling better.

She draws on three years' experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. Louise combines client-centred work with attachment and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns from relationships and early experiences.

How Louise works

She uses mindfulness to help people manage stress and the Gottman Method when relationship dynamics are a focus. Sessions can include talking therapy, short exercises, and creative techniques when words are hard to find. The approach is collaborative - goals are agreed together and adjusted as progress is made.

Louise pays attention to how past hurts show up now and to practical ways to cope day to day. People come for help with anxiety, depression, mood conditions such as bipolar, addiction concerns, ADHD, and the strain of life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, anger, and career worries.

Additional focus areas include attachment issues, codependency, body image, and dissociation. Louise is based in the United Kingdom and speaks English. She works online with people across borders by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support options

How Louise’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they seek comfort and connection and works on building more supported ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. The therapist listens without judgement and helps clients find their own solutions at their own pace. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and breathing practices. These are practical skills to reduce stress, manage overwhelming emotions, and stay present between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will discuss options and try methods together so the therapy fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be mixed or adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need quick access between calls. These formats make regular therapy easier to fit around work, family commitments and travel, while still allowing therapists and registered or accredited professionals to use the same therapeutic tools as in-person work.
