I’m Louise, a compassionate and dedicated counsellor who can help you through life’s challenges and transitions working online, by phone or in person. My approach is grounded in empathy, respect and collaboration. I create a safe and non-judgemental space where you can explore your experiences, build insight and move towards meaningful change.
My clients are from all backgrounds, and I have several professional roles. I lead bereavement services in a busy NHS hospital. I’m a fertility counsellor for a leading national clinic and I help trauma patients at a local Hampshire agency. I help people navigate: grief, suicide, baby/child loss, infertility, preconception/conception, pregnancy/birth/parenthood, divorce, relationship issues, anger, trauma and life transitions all of which often lead to isolation, stress, anxiety or depression for individuals and/or those around them.
Through my work I have gained deeper knowledge of trauma, grief and loss. I’m an accredited practitioner at the Foundation of Infant Loss and I’ve trained with the British Infertility Counselling Association and the baby loss organisation Sands. I’ve also volunteered with Cruse Bereavement Support on the national helpline and facilitating groups.I have a particular interest in women’s health, including pregnancy, fertility, IVF treatment, motherhood, perinatal & postnatal challenges and the menopause. However, I am also passionate about helping men and same sex or non-binary partners to navigate some of these areas too, especially in the parenting journey, recognising the challenges that arise both in relationships and within ourselves as families are formed.
I also have a special interest and experience with supporting families and friends impacted by suicide.
