About Louise

Louise Bell is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She works with adults to understand the impact of painful life events and to find ways to feel steadier day to day. Louise takes a personalised, person-centred approach.

She listens first, then helps people notice what from the past they are still carrying. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that bring relief.

Background and approach

Her work draws on trauma-focused therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, among other approaches. She uses practical techniques to manage anxiety and low mood and to build clearer boundaries after harmful relationships. Louise also offers support for bereavement and for people recovering from narcissistic relationships.

She helps clients develop coping skills and realistic plans for staying safe and emotionally stronger when difficult interactions occur. She has three years' experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling then follows the therapist's availability and the site's subscription arrangements.

How these approaches work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy looks at how past hurt continues to affect feelings and reactions now. Online sessions can be used to gently process those memories and learn ways to reduce upsetting symptoms. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and tests small changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and building new habits.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques together to see what helps most. Clients steer the pace and Louise adapts methods to match their needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when visual cues matter and you want a fuller conversation. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a shorter break. Live chat or text-based messaging suits shorter check-ins, writing things down, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
