About Louise
Louise Gillies is a counsellor who supports people facing grief, fertility and pregnancy loss, early parenting struggles, and the effects of chronic health conditions. She also helps those with ADHD-related difficulties such as concentration, focus and memory, and people coping with low motivation, self-esteem or confidence. Louise works online with people in the United Kingdom and internationally in English.
Over a decade of practice informs her straightforward and calm style.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what feels most pressing to the client. Conversations are paced to suit each person, with practical steps agreed together when helpful. Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred work, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused techniques.
These methods are used to help people clarify values, notice unhelpful patterns, and try manageable changes between sessions. Louise is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, abbreviated as BACP. That registration is part of her professional standing in the UK.
People often come with life transitions such as menopause, retirement or the empty nest phase, and with relationship strains like divorce, separation or communication problems. She also addresses fatherhood concerns, caregiver stress, fertility and postpartum issues in individual sessions. Work begins with practical questions about what matters to the client and what would feel different if therapy helped.
From there Louise and the client decide together on goals, tools to try, and how progress will be reviewed.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action rather than getting stuck on feelings. It can be useful for grief, chronic health struggles and motivation problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and can find their own solutions; this approach suits people who need a calm space to talk through difficult emotions.Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will discuss different methods and try approaches together to see what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Decisions about technique are collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports people who prefer writing between sessions or want a quick check-in. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact while fitting therapy around work, family and health demands.
