About Louise
Louise Brannan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. Louise listens carefully and works with each person to set clear, achievable goals.
With five years of experience, she uses talking, reflection and simple exercises in sessions. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practise new ways of managing difficult feelings, and build small habits that make day-to-day life easier.
Her work covers a broad range of challenges including relationship strain, codependency, coping after loss, addictions, sleep problems and managing anger. She also supports people dealing with long-term health issues, caregiving stress, career difficulties and midlife transitions.
Louise adapts her approach to suit each person’s situation. Sessions include time to talk things through, to reflect on thoughts and emotions, and to try practical tools between meetings. The aim is to help people feel more in control and better able to cope.
She treats everyone with respect and sensitivity, and she encourages clients to take the pace that feels right for them. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How therapeutic approaches and online sessions work together
Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in practical ways. One common approach focuses on talking through thoughts and emotions to spot unhelpful patterns and try different responses; this can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship stress. Another approach uses brief exercises and between-session activities to build coping skills and improve day-to-day functioning, which is useful for sleep problems, stress and managing strong emotions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adapt the plan over time based on what is helpful. Clients can expect ongoing check-ins about progress and adjustments when needed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as these are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also suit people who prefer to join sessions from familiar surroundings or who need more flexible scheduling. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical options when you complete the matching questionnaire and arrange your appointments.
