About Louise

Counsellor (BACP), 3 years' experience. Louise McAuley helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression and coping with life changes. She offers Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as part of her work in the United Kingdom.

Louise draws on talking therapies to help people manage intense emotions and practical problems. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, manageable steps that reduce distress. She uses listening and guided conversation to identify patterns that keep problems going and to try different ways of responding.

Her background includes three years of practice across the NHS and community settings. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is shown by the BACP credential. That experience informs how she works with common issues such as workplace stress, caregiving strain and social anxiety.

In session Louise combines a human-centred approach with cognitive behavioural techniques. This can mean exploring beliefs and thinking patterns, and then testing practical strategies between meetings. The balance aims to make therapy both reflective and action-oriented.

Sessions can include conversation about relationships, family problems, feelings of guilt or shame, midlife concerns, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people facing loneliness, narcissistic dynamics, and trauma-related reactions.

To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting. Costs vary with location and are managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches shape remote work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s perspective. The aim is to help people talk through feelings and discover their own answers, useful for grief, relationship issues and questions about life purpose.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that maintain distress. It uses short practical tasks and experiments between sessions to reduce anxiety, low mood and workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Louise will collaborate with the person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion guides how sessions are planned and what tasks are suggested between meetings.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to maintain continuity of care and to support people juggling family, health or work commitments.
