Louise Bell helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief or low self-esteem.
About Louise
Louise Bell helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, trauma, grief or low self-esteem. She introduces simple ways to manage strong emotions and to start feeling steadier day to day. Louise writes plainly and listens closely so people can say what matters most to them.
Her style is personalised and practical. She pays attention to each person's life story and the things they still carry from the past.
Background and approach
Together they look at how those experiences affect mood, relationships and choices now. That can include working on boundaries, forgiving oneself, or rebuilding confidence after loss or abuse. Sessions combine talking with tools drawn from recognised therapies.
Louise uses client-centred methods to follow the client’s pace, cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking, and trauma-focused work when past events are clearly causing distress. The aim is to reduce anxiety, process painful memories, and build everyday coping strategies.
She also supports people dealing with issues such as abandonment anxieties, attachment struggles, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife challenges. Practical guidance on handling narcissistic behaviour and on self-love is part of the work when relevant. Louise holds BACP accreditation, and brings three years of professional experience.
Sessions are offered in English for people in the United Kingdom. To begin, people complete a short matching form and book sessions that suit their schedule.

Approaches Louise lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to build new, healthier habits that reduce anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals and preferences and try methods that suit their needs. That way the plan can change if something does not feel helpful, and progress is discussed together.
Online sessions let people fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls give face-to-face contact without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to keep regular sessions and to practice skills between meetings.
