Louise Creswick, BACP

Louise Creswick is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and life changes. She works with clients on relationship strains, career worries, trauma and loss. Her approach is warm and empathetic, and she aims to create a calm space to talk things through.

She blends different methods rather than relying on a single model. That means sessions might include listening, practical techniques, gently challenging unhelpful thoughts, or simple mindfulness exercises. Louise encourages clients to steer the pace and focus so the work stays relevant to daily life.

Her background includes five years in therapeutic and mental health roles across the UK. That experience informs how she tailors sessions to common issues like panic, post-traumatic stress, family of origin concerns, and difficulties around adoption or fertility.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused when that suits the person. Louise may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools to identify thinking patterns, Client-Centred Therapy methods to follow a person’s lead, and mindfulness practices to reduce overwhelm. She also offers coaching-style support for career and purpose questions.

People can expect straightforward language and practical steps between sessions when helpful. The subscription model used for sessions can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to availability.

How therapy approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical strategies to change them, which can help with anxiety, panic and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped before, and will adjust methods together. That way the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or family routines. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video if that suits someone better. The biography does not list specific session formats, so check the available options before booking to see what will work best for scheduling and practical needs.
