About Louise

Louise Creswick works with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes, and she combines counselling with coaching methods to support practical next steps. She is BACP registered and has five years' experience in therapeutic and mental health roles.

She uses an integrative approach that draws on client-centred ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, achievable steps between meetings. Conversations are direct and practical, with time spent on thoughts, behaviours and coping skills as needed.

Louise has worked in a range of mental health settings over the last five years. That background informs how she applies tools from different approaches depending on the issue presented. She pays attention to past relationships and family of origin where these affect current difficulties.

Common themes she supports include trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and family concerns, career and fatherhood issues, fertility and adoption-related matters, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She also helps with panic and post-traumatic stress reactions using step‑by‑step coping strategies.

Sessions may include practical exercises, thought‑record work, grounding or breathing practices and reflective conversation. The emphasis is on helping people notice patterns, try different responses, and build everyday routines that support steadier mood and clearer decision making.

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping the person lead the conversation. It is useful where someone wants space to make sense of feelings and decide on priorities.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, panic and low mood by teaching specific coping and thinking skills.

Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase present-moment noticing. This can support stress management and help with emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and then agree a plan that mixes techniques where useful. That choice is made together and can change as the work develops.

Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow practical tasks between sessions, such as keeping thought records or trying short mindfulness exercises in daily routines.
