Louise Creswick , BACP

Louise Creswick is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, anger, career doubts and relationship strain. Louise works with clients who are navigating fertility, adoption and family of origin concerns, among other issues.

She takes a practical, person-focused approach. Sessions are shaped around what the client needs that week. Conversations are warm and non-judgemental, and Louise aims to help clients find clearer thinking and calmer responses over time.

Her style mixes talking and practical tools. She draws on client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness exercises as needed. That blend is adjusted to suit the moment and the goals the client brings.

Louise is registered with the BACP, which is listed as a credential in her profile. She has five years of experience working in counselling and related roles across the United Kingdom.

People can expect straightforward explanations about why a suggested exercise might help. Sessions can include breathing or grounding practices, thought-challenging exercises, and gentle reflection on choices and values. The aim is to make changes that fit into everyday life.

Louise offers online options so therapy can fit around work and family commitments. She speaks English and works with clients based in the United Kingdom.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and safer to talk about difficult topics, which suits issues like grief, low self-esteem and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviours and trying small experiments to change them. It is often useful for anxiety, panic, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Mindfulness Therapy uses short, practical exercises to help notice the body and breath and reduce reactivity. These techniques can support coping with stress, anger and overwhelming feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods together to see what helps. That collaborative process means approaches can change as progress is made and priorities shift.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging gives practical flexibility. Video is good for a full session with visual connection, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed, and messaging suits brief updates or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
