Louise Bell, BACP

Louise Bell is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem.

About Louise

Louise Bell is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She uses a personalised way of working so each person’s situation shapes the sessions. Louise aims to help people feel less burdened by the past and find clearer ways forward.

She begins by listening closely to what someone has been through and what they still carry with them. That understanding shapes practical steps to reduce anxiety and improve confidence.

Background and approach

Sessions can include techniques to manage intrusive memories and to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Louise also offers guidance for people affected by narcissistic relationships and relationship breakdowns. She helps clients think through setting boundaries and prepares them for possible knock-on effects when boundaries are applied.

The focus is on practical strategies that people can use outside of sessions. Support for bereavement and loss is provided with attention to how grief shows up in daily life and relationships. Louise helps people find manageable ways to cope, pace their emotions, and honour what they have lost while making decisions about next steps.

Her way of working is calm and collaborative. She draws on client-centred methods alongside cognitive and trauma-focused ideas to tailor each plan. Louise is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she works with people across the United Kingdom.

How Louise’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens and reflects so people feel heard and can explore their thoughts and feelings. This approach suits people who want a steady, empathetic space to understand themselves better.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It uses clear techniques and small experiments to reduce anxiety, shift negative thinking and build coping skills for stress and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Louise will discuss options with each person and agree a plan together based on goals, needs and preferences. The choice of method can change as progress is made so clients have an active role in shaping their therapy.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and a more conversational style. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief reflections, written check-ins and people who prefer typing to speaking. These options aim to offer flexibility and steady access to therapeutic support.
