Luise Sargent , BACP

Luise Sargent is a psychotherapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and life transitions. She supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction, eating and sleeping problems, and intimacy-related concerns. Luise also offers help for parenting strain, career worries, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. She holds a BACP accreditation and brings ten years of practice to her work.

Luise likes to keep sessions straightforward and practical. She listens first and frames conversations around what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on figuring out what is getting in the way, and then trying small steps that make a difference. The tone is non-judgemental and gentle, aiming to put people at ease.

Her approach draws on client-centred work, where the person's own goals guide the therapy. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. These methods are used together to match what a person needs in the moment.

People come to Luise for a mix of emotional support and practical tools. She aims to help people cope better with daily stress, manage mood shifts, and improve communication and boundaries. Over time the focus can shift from crisis management to building lasting routines and clearer decision-making.

Sessions are offered in English and are available to clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Luise works with individuals who want to understand themselves better and make realistic changes to their lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Luise draws on client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy to help people look at what matters and change unhelpful patterns. Client-centred work means sessions focus on the person's own goals and experiences, with the counsellor offering reflective listening and support. Cognitive behavioural therapy helps identify negative thoughts and test small behavioural changes to ease anxiety, low mood and stress.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to set practical, short-term goals that can bring quick relief. That approach looks for strengths and past successes to build steps forward, which is helpful for career decisions, relationship problems and coping with life changes. Choosing the right mix of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with the client to decide what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can fit into a work break or suit quieter audio-only check-ins. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when wording things in writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to access support from different locations and time zones.
