Louise Malyan , BACP, NCPS

Louise Malyan works with people who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure where to start. She supports those facing relationship problems, addiction, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, mood concerns and life changes. Louise writes simply and directly, helping clients take small, practical steps toward feeling steadier.

Louise draws on three years of experience and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She uses talking therapy alongside creative counselling techniques when words do not feel enough. Sessions include gentle exploration of past events, attention to how relationships shape feelings, and practical tools to cope in the moment.

Her approach adapts to each person. Some work focuses on attachment and how early relationships affect current patterns. Other times sessions are tailored to rebuild confidence after abuse or to reduce alcohol and other addictive behaviours. She also helps people manage ADHD, bipolar symptoms, anger and career stresses through clearer routines and coping strategies.

Louise offers a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through painful memories and try new ways of relating. She uses mindfulness exercises and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat in relationships. The Gottman Method informs work around communication and conflict in partnerships.

People often come with mixed concerns such as body image, codependency, caregiver stress or dissociation. Louise helps them break problems into manageable parts. The focus is on realistic goals and steady progress over time.

How Louise combines relational therapy with online convenience

Louise uses attachment-focused work to look at how early relationships shape current emotional reactions and patterns. This approach helps when trust, abandonment or repeated relationship problems are central issues and it guides gentle exploration of those patterns.

She also uses client-centred therapy which prioritises the person's own pace and goals. That means the counsellor follows the client’s concerns, listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions. Mindfulness therapy is offered as a tool to reduce anxiety, manage intense emotions and ground the body in the present moment.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Louise will discuss options in early sessions and adapt methods to fit the client's goals, needs and preferences. She aims to work collaboratively so the therapeutic plan feels manageable and relevant.

Online sessions make this work more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror much of an in-person conversation, while phone sessions can be shorter or easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing, need brief check-ins, or want to reflect between messages. These formats help fit counselling into busy schedules and different lifestyles.
