About Louise

Louise Brannan helps people work through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem issues and life changes by talking through thoughts and feelings and offering practical exercises and tools. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has five years of professional experience. She works in English and accepts international clients from the United Kingdom.

Her sessions focus on clear conversation about what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She uses talking, reflection and practical tasks to help people notice unhelpful patterns and build different ways of coping. She offers support for a wide range of concerns including addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, sleeping problems, anger and career difficulties.

Louise also addresses longer-term and life-stage issues such as ageing and geriatric concerns, chronic pain or illness, caregiver stress, cancer-related matters and blended family difficulties. She works with people facing separation, communication problems, control and commitment concerns, and fatherhood issues.

Sessions include exploration of feelings around mood differences such as bipolar and depression, and difficulties linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue. Practical exercises and tools are offered to reinforce conversations between sessions. Progress is discussed regularly so plans can be adjusted as needs change.

Her approach is collaborative and direct. Clients are helped to set clear goals and to try concrete strategies between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first appointment using the Talk to a counsellor online button.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical ways to change thinking and behaviour. One common approach involves structured conversations and exercises that help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test more helpful alternatives; this can suit anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.

Another frequent method uses behavioural tasks and short exercises between sessions to build new habits and improve sleep, coping with cravings, or managing anger. These tasks are practical and aimed at everyday problems such as sleeping, work stress and relationship communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then agree a plan together. This is a collaborative process and the plan can be adjusted over time according to how things are progressing.

Practical benefits of having sessions online include easier fitting of appointments around work and family commitments, shorter check-ins when needed, and reduced travel time. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to include therapy alongside everyday life without needing to travel.
