Louise Creswick

Louise Creswick is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger and other difficult feelings. She works with clients who are coping with grief, low self-esteem, life changes, career worries and relationship concerns. Louise aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them and try practical ways to feel better.

She uses a blend of approaches chosen to suit each person. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and on small steps to change unhelpful thinking or behaviour. Louise also includes mindfulness practices to help with tense moments and strong emotions.

Her background includes five years working in therapeutic and mental health roles across the UK. That time has involved direct client support and coaching alongside counselling work. She draws on that experience to adapt sessions to the pace and preferences of each person.

In practice, sessions are collaborative. Louise listens first, then suggests tools and exercises that fit the client’s goals. She explains techniques clearly and checks in about how they feel in real life.

Clients are encouraged to treat therapy as a short-term problem-solving process or as longer-term support, depending on need. Booking begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling is arranged once a client chooses to start.

How Louise’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. It helps when someone needs a supportive, non-judgemental space to talk through feelings and make sense of what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It is practical and goal-focused, which can help with anxiety, anger, panic and low mood by teaching coping strategies and small behaviour changes.

Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment through short practices. It can reduce reactivity and help people notice patterns in stress and anger before they escalate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will listen to what you want to achieve and suggest a mix of methods that fit your goals and comfort level. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you progress.

Confirm the available session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow follow-up exercises to be tried between meetings. It can also suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who find written or video-based contact easier to manage.
