About Louise

Louise Flory supports people dealing with grief and related problems. She focuses on bereavement, abandonment and attachment concerns, and helps with issues such as guilt, family of origin difficulties and isolation. Louise writes simply and listens closely, aiming to make sessions feel straightforward and humane.

She has worked for 25 years in the charity sector, including roles at Mind and several bereavement charities. That background means she is used to practical, real-world difficulties.

Background and approach

Her experience also includes supporting people affected by childhood sexual abuse and advising on adoption support. Louise trained initially in psychodynamic approaches and keeps up with continuing professional development. Recent courses include a Barnardo's certificate in adoption support counselling and an advanced certificate in grief and loss.

She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. In sessions she aims to be warm and empathic. Conversations are guided by what each person brings, whether the issue is a recent loss or a painful memory from long ago.

She helps people untangle how past relationships affect life now and looks at practical ways to cope. Parents reading on a phone will find short, clear conversations and a steady pace. The goal is to make space to talk and to work out manageable next steps.

Louise adapts to each person, gently exploring feelings and helping them find ways forward.

Focus areas and approaches

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

Approaches that help with grief and attachment

Louise draws on psychodynamic ideas that look at how early relationships shape feelings today. This approach helps people understand recurring patterns, attachment worries and family of origin issues in everyday language and examples.

She also uses grief-focused work that helps people face loss step by step. That kind of work helps when a death or other loss feels stuck, or when strong feelings return unexpectedly, by offering ways to name and sit with grief and to find practical coping steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Louise will work with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. This is collaborative - she listens first, then suggests ways of working and reviews progress together.

Online therapy is offered using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or travel is an issue, and chat or messaging can suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and daily life.
