About Louise
Louise Brannan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and life transitions. Her manner is respectful and warm, and she aims to meet each person where they are.
Louise draws on five years of practical experience helping people talk through difficult feelings. Sessions often involve exploring thoughts and emotions together, and using simple exercises and tools to support change. She adapts the pace and focus to suit each person’s needs.
Clients come with a wide range of concerns including depression, bipolar mood challenges, bereavement and trauma, addiction and anger. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, ADHD and career questions. Additional focus areas include chronic illness, caregiving stress and blended family matters.
Louise aims to create clear plans that people can use between sessions. That can mean short exercises, thinking tasks or practical steps to try at home. She explains ideas plainly and checks progress regularly.
Her work is collaborative: she listens first, then suggests ways forward. People who want to work on sleeping and rest-related problems can bring that to the sessions and Louise will help identify useful strategies and next steps.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is collaborative talk therapy, which involves discussing thoughts and emotions to spot unhelpful patterns and try new ways of thinking. This can help with anxiety, low mood and stress-related sleep problems.Another useful approach is brief skill-building work, where sessions introduce exercises and strategies to use between meetings. These might include simple behavioural changes to improve rest, paced problem solving for life changes, or regulated breathing for anger and anxiety. Such tools are chosen to fit the issue being addressed.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences, and will recommend methods that seem likely to help. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include making sessions easier to fit into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can also allow for shorter check-ins when life is hectic, or for conversations without being on camera if that feels better. Confirm the exact session formats available before booking so you know which options suit your needs.
