About Louise

Louise Malyan offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by anger, anxiety, stress or relationship strain. She is a down-to-earth counsellor who aims to help clients make small, steady changes that ease daily life. Her approach is straightforward and rooted in listening first, then working out clear next steps together.

Louise uses creative counselling alongside talking therapy. She often combines client-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape current reactions. Mindfulness techniques are used to help people pause and notice patterns when strong emotions arise. The Gottman Method informs her work around communication and relationship repair when couples choose to focus on that.

Her background includes a BACP membership and NCPS credential, and she has three years of professional experience. She has worked with people dealing with trauma, addiction, ADHD, mood difficulties and self-esteem struggles. She also supports those facing grief, life changes and career pressures.

Sessions are aimed at helping people understand triggers and build practical coping strategies. Louise pays attention to attachment and relationship dynamics that can influence anger and blame. She supports clients in finding ways to express difficult feelings without escalating conflict.

To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling. International clients can be considered and sessions are offered in English.

How her approaches shape online support

Louise draws on a few practical approaches to help people manage strong emotions and relationship strain. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships influence responses to stress and anger, helping clients recognise patterns that repeat in adult life. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. Mindfulness helps by teaching brief attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity in tense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that suit their needs and goals. That might mean trying a mindfulness exercise for immediate stress relief or using attachment ideas to untangle long-standing patterns. Decisions are revisited as progress is made.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family routines, cut down travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help them practise skills in real life between meetings, making therapy techniques easier to use day to day.
