About Louise

Louise Bennett works with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She uses a conversational, client-led style and has three years' experience. Louise is registered with NCPS and practises from the United Kingdom.

She keeps sessions relaxed and paced to the person. She listens, reflects and sometimes offers gentle challenge to help people see different angles. Her approach aims to help people notice patterns, untangle racing thoughts and make choices that fit their values.

Louise draws on client-centred work to prioritise each person's experience. She also uses elements of existential thinking to look at meaning and choice, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, practical steps. Jungian ideas about personal symbols and life themes can appear when they feel helpful.

People bring a wide range of issues to her, including abandonment, attachment concerns, communication and commitment problems, codependency, body image, eating and food-related issues, and caregiver stress. She also supports people coping with ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, avoidant personality tendencies, blended family issues, divorce or separation, and recovery after natural or human-caused disaster.

Sessions are intended to help people gain clarity, recognise triggers and build small, manageable changes. To begin, users follow the site matching process and schedule a first session.

How her approaches work in online counselling

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and priorities, with the counsellor following the person's lead and reflecting what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a listening, non-directive space to sort thoughts and feelings.

Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. It can be useful for people facing big changes, questions about purpose, or decisions that feel heavy.

Solution-focused work concentrates on small, practical steps and clear goals. It is often used to build immediate coping strategies and short-term progress when someone wants focused change.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree together which methods to use. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as goals shift.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit counselling around work, family or other commitments and may make it easier to maintain regular meetings. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight or for sessions without video when that better suits someone's circumstances.
