You Might Be Thinking…
Is counselling right for me?
Why don’t we have a telephone call to chat through your situation – and you can get a feel for it.
I’m not sure where to begin.
We don’t expect you to have all the answers. We will help you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
I’m ready for the next step. What do I do next?
Contact Louise or Duncan to discuss a suitable time for a call, or first session.
What kind of counselling is right for me?
We will adapt our therapeutic style to meet your needs and review regularly with you.
Does counselling differ for a young person?
No – The focus is still about them and their needs.
Contact Louise
I’m a qualified counsellor with specialist experience in supporting children, young people, and families. I offer a calm, steady presence that helps people feel safe – even when things feel messy or overwhelming.
My training is rooted in person-centred therapy, and I also draw on creative and play-based approaches to adapt my work to each individual. This means sessions are flexible, supportive, and tailored to meet you exactly where you are.
I believe that change begins with feeling heard. That’s why I focus on creating a space where clients of all ages feel seen, understood, and never judged.
Contact Duncan
I’m a counsellor supporting adults, young people, and families through life’s challenges. My approach is calm, compassionate, and focused on helping you feel heard, understood, and supported.
I work integratively, shaping each session around your unique needs – whether that’s space to talk, practical tools, or time for deeper reflection.
Alongside counselling, I also offer supervision to newly qualified and experienced therapists, creating a safe space to reflect and grow.
Wherever you are on your journey, I’ll meet you there – and help you take the next step forward.
