Louise Wood , BACP

Louise Wood is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She also supports those dealing with trauma, addiction, low self-esteem and relationship concerns. People seeking understanding and practical support often find her straightforward and steady in sessions.

She sees each client as the expert on their own life and draws on what already works for them. Sessions are practical and conversational, with space to talk through painful memories and current struggles. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps and building coping skills that fit everyday life.

Louise has seven years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That background includes helping people navigate grief, anger, compassion fatigue and challenges linked to attachment or abandonment.

Her work also covers issues such as ADHD, substance use, domestic violence, HIV and end-of-life concerns. She pays attention to how past losses and relational patterns affect present choices, and she adapts the pace to what each person can handle.

Sessions combine listening with gentle challenge to help people spot patterns and try different ways of coping. The overall aim is to support people toward clearer thinking, steadier moods and better day-to-day functioning. If someone wants a calm, collaborative counsellor, Louise offers that steady presence.
