About Louise
Louise McAuley is a UK-based counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship worries. She works with practical day-to-day problems like workplace strain, grief and coping with life changes. Her manner is warm and interactive, and she aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and manageable.
Louise uses a blend of approaches to suit each person. She draws on client-centred principles to listen closely and shape sessions around what matters to the individual.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try small, practical changes. Her background includes three years of professional experience within the NHS and community settings. She is registered with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is listed among her credentials.
That experience includes supporting people through grief, trauma symptoms and workplace difficulties. In sessions Louise aims to create a non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through. She will work with each person to agree goals and practical steps they can use between sessions.
Conversations are tailored to the person rather than following a fixed script. People choosing to work with Louise can expect a collaborative way of working that emphasises respect and sensitivity. She encourages small steps and realistic coping strategies so progress feels achievable.
Her approach suits those looking for focused, practical support alongside empathetic listening.

Approaches Louise lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that make problems worse. It involves practical exercises and small steps to change thinking and try different reactions, which can help with anxiety, stress and workplace worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then decide together which methods to use. This collaborative planning means the therapy is adapted as needs change over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for a fuller conversational session, phone can be quicker and needs less bandwidth, while live chat and text work well for shorter check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
