I am licensed in the UK with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression and also focusing on poor sleep . I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I believe that a mixture of support can also be effective in certain situations.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Respectful, listens, patient, kind.
Louise is very open minded, she gave me a super relaxed feeling, didn't push me to talk about uncomfortable topics and the conversations where very natural and helpful. Thank you!
She is very on board with my issues and concerns I like the way she engages with me and supports my healing journey Very professional and kind
I have only started with louise and I feel she understands me a lot and gets me. I still have a long road to go yet. She really listens to me and after our session I feel there is a weight been lifted off my shoulders. she has given me work sheets that I feel are very beneficial to me
My therapist Louise is the best of therapist I could hope for , She is very understanding, knowledgeable , kind and caring beyond my expectations. She has excellent interpersonal communication skills, her moat valuable support has helped me become more aware of my situation and find clarity moving foward with hope.
It's pleasant talking to her and I look forward for more good conversations. Her caring and empathetic character is quite healing for me.
Louise and I had 6 sessions so far. She is very responsive, helpful and made me already feel very comfortable in my first session. It was easy for me to open up to her, even though it is an online therapeutic meeting. She relates, gives good examples and helps me to work through my issues to meet my goals. I highly recommend her.
Louise has been such a great source of support and I find our sessions really helpful. She listens with care and treats me with dignity and respect. I’ve already recommended her services/BetterHelp to two friends!
Louise is my second therapist since being on Betterhelp. She is easy to talk to, she listens and checks in on me multiple times a week. She truly provides a space that feels safe and non-judgmental. Her years of experience during our interactions are evident. I would recommend Louise to anyone hesitant about therapy. What I especially appreciate is how skilful she is at recognising when a topic is stressful and responding accordingly.
I am lucky that I've got an opportunity to work with Louise! A great match. She's a professional indeed.
