About Louise
Louise Gillies helps with grief, parenting worries, self-esteem struggles and ADHD challenges. She works with people facing fertility and pregnancy loss, early parenting pressures, and the emotional strain of chronic health problems. Her approach aims to be calm and practical so people can talk honestly without feeling judged.
Louise uses straightforward, goal-focused conversations. She listens first, then helps set small, manageable steps you can try between sessions. Work often focuses on improving concentration, memory and motivation, or on rebuilding confidence after loss or major life change.
Background and approach
Clients can expect a warm, non-judgemental space where pace and priorities are set together. Sessions are built around what feels doable for each person rather than a fixed programme. Louise explains ideas in plain language and keeps techniques simple and practical.
Her background includes ten years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That reflects her professional standing in the United Kingdom and familiarity with national practice standards. Louise often combines acceptance and mindfulness-based ideas with solution-focused methods.
This mix helps people tolerate difficult feelings while also taking concrete steps forward. The work is collaborative and tailored to personal goals, whether that means improving daily routines, coping with loss, or managing ADHD-related difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people outside the UK.
Online options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and medical appointments.

Online support
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus. This can help with concentration problems linked to ADHD and with managing stress during fertility or parenting challenges.
Solution-focused therapy centres on small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions often identify what is already working and build on those strengths to create quick, achievable changes in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options and decide together which methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or times when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, keep a conversation going between sessions, or use written reflections as part of the work. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists use these formats to make therapy more accessible and adaptable to life commitments.
