About Louise
Louise Banks is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes and sleep difficulties. Louise works from the view that people know their own story and have strengths to draw on when life feels overwhelming.
She uses a mix of person-focused listening and practical thinking tools to help people take small steps forward. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep problems going and to find everyday strategies that fit each person’s life. Louise combines gentle reflection with goal-focused problem solving when helpful.
Louise has 17 years of experience working in counselling and holds BACP accreditation. That background shapes a calm, steady approach and an emphasis on respect and collaboration in the room. She tries to make things straightforward and realistic for people under pressure.
People can expect a conversational tone, time to tell their story, and work on clear, achievable steps between sessions. Louise encourages clients to try approaches that suit their goals and pace. She acknowledges that starting therapy takes courage and aims to make the process manageable.
Practical issues such as session arrangements and fees are handled through the service’s booking and subscription system. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so people can find what fits their needs and availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy is about listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It focuses on building understanding and using the person’s own strengths to move forward, which helps with grief, low mood and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That exploration often begins with a few sessions to test what helps and adjust the plan as needed.
Many people find online work makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, for example by reducing travel or allowing a shorter check-in during a work break. The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt talking therapy methods to an online setting to focus on practical coping, emotional processing and skills practice.
