Hi, I'm Louise.
I'm a BACP registered counsellor with over a decade of experience in private practice and within the NHS and my website is louiseclaydoncounselling.co.uk. I specialise in Mental Health, Relationships, Confidence and Resilience building and Coaching/Conflict resolution. My approach is warm, caring and non-judgemental and I am dedicated to providing a compassionate, effective counselling service tailored to your unique needs.
My background encompasses a wide range of specialties, including:
Mental Health: Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, I provide a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings while developing practical strategies for managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.
Relationships: Relationships can be complex, but they're also incredibly rewarding. I offer couples counselling and individual therapy to help you navigate communication issues, conflict resolution, intimacy challenges, and other relational dynamics, fostering deeper connections and healthier interactions.
Confidence Building: Building self-confidence is key to unlocking your full potential. Through personalized coaching techniques, I will seek to empower you to cultivate self-awareness, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace your unique strengths, allowing you to step into your power with confidence and resilience.
My approach is rooted in Solution-Focused Therapy, a strengths-based model that focuses on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Together, we'll explore your goals, identify what's working well in your life, and develop practical strategies to build on your strengths and overcome obstacles. By harnessing your own resources and resilience, we'll create a roadmap for positive change that empowers you to thrive.
As a trained person centred therapist, my focus is always your focus, we will work on whatever YOU need to address, without a pre determined agenda and my goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and confidence needed to navigate life's challenges and create a fulfilling future.
If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation, I invite you to take the first step towards positive change. Contact me to begin your path towards a brighter tomorrow, I'll be with you all the way :)

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
