About Louise
Louise Phillipson helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. She supports those coping with trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, eating or sleeping difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also assists people dealing with career pressures, parenting challenges, intimacy issues and life changes.
Louise works with first responders and offers hospice and end-of-life counselling as part of her focus areas. She keeps sessions straightforward and respectful. Conversations centre on what matters to the person in front of her.
How Louise works
She listens without judgement and aims to make people feel heard and understood from the first meeting. Louise holds an NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Her background combines practical life experience with clinical practice, which she uses to relate to everyday struggles and pressures.
In therapy she encourages small, practical steps that can change how people feel day to day. That could be learning new ways to manage anxiety, working through grief, or sorting out relationship boundaries. She adapts her pace to suit each person’s needs and priorities.
She offers a calm, down-to-earth style that suits people wanting direct, conversational support. Louise invites honest talk and helps people identify what they want to change. Her aim is to help people regain steadiness and move towards clearer choices in life.

Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach helps people learn clear strategies for managing anxiety and stress, such as breathing work, structured coping plans and small behaviour changes that reduce overwhelm. Another approach emphasises working through painful events and emotions so they have less hold over day-to-day life; this involves paced talking, reflecting on meaning, and finding new ways to respond to triggers.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Louise makes this a collaborative process, listening to goals and priorities before suggesting ways forward. She reviews progress and adjusts methods so they fit the person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let conversations feel much like face-to-face sessions while fitting around work and family life. Phone sessions or short live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions and can help people keep momentum when life is busy. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use these formats to increase flexibility and accessibility for clients.
