About Louise

Louise Brannan is a counsellor who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety and major life changes. She works in a straightforward way and focuses on practical steps that can make day-to-day life easier. Louise has five years of experience working with concerns such as depression, bipolar, addiction, trauma and grief.

She also helps people with relationship and intimacy-related problems, self-esteem, anger and career worries. Other areas she addresses include sleep difficulties, ADHD, compassion fatigue and long-term health challenges.

Background and approach

Sessions involve talking through current problems, looking at thoughts and feelings, and practising simple tools and exercises between meetings. Louise adapts the pace and focus to each person so sessions fit individual needs. She aims to offer kindness, sensitivity and clear direction during this work.

People often come for help when life feels hard to manage or when a change is on the horizon. Louise supports clients as they build coping skills, make decisions and try out different ways of handling stress and relationships. The aim is to help people notice small changes that add up over time.

She works with English-speaking clients across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Practical options for meeting include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. To start, the site matching process is used to connect people and schedule sessions.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Louise lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Evidence-based approaches and online access

Louise uses established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills. One common approach looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches coping strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood. It is useful for stress, worry and depression.

Another useful technique focuses on trauma and its effects by helping people name difficult memories and learn ways to manage flashbacks, strong emotions and avoidance. This approach is often chosen by people working through abuse, loss or painful past events.

Choosing the right method is part of the work and usually happens together. The counsellor will listen to the client's goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust it as progress is made. This collaborative process helps find what fits best for each person.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller exchange is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need brief, regular support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
