Client Testimonials
I am extremely satisfied and comfortable by the professionalism and approach used by Louise. My sessions with Louise helped me enormously and I would strongly recommend anyone truly wanting to change to schedule sessions with her. Louise listens and analyses carefully and is able to understand very well the psychological situation and the thought processes. She is very capable in providing insight and novel ways of thinking and viewing situations, which I have applied after each session. This was instrumental in helping me get better. Louise is also flexible about timing, and always offers extra follow-ups when needed. I am forever grateful to Louise.AZ
Louise was recommended to me by a colleague when I shared that I was looking to find my feet again, at work but more importantly, as part of my mental health “fitness”. I didn’t know what to expect from Louise’s sessions but by session 2 I knew I had found my ideal therapist. Some would describe her work as coaching. I choose to describe her as a therapist because she allowed me to explore so much more of my inner being. She listened, prompted and challenged me. The more open I was, the more she helped me see what else I had in me. It’s like yoga for the mind. As we built trust, I felt I could keep pushing a little further each time. Louise taught me many techniques to help my body, mind and, more fundamentally, she helped me discover a deeper, complex and colourful part of me I had buried long ago in lieu of conforming with how I thought the world wanted me to be. – [trying to please people and impress] I am mentally stronger than ever, more aware and respectful of my own needs and priorities, and no doubt so much happier now that I feel I am my whole self. I credit this to our work together. She helped me see how that edited life was impacting me and I leaned on her support to keep exploring the inner world of my mind and persona. It has been amazing to “meet” and get to know myself at this level. This was only possible because Louise is an open minded, caring guiding partner. I felt she was there for me and I really appreciated her no nonsense which allowed for some amazing sessions together. I would recommend Louise to anyone who feels ready to explore their whole self, their lights and shadows within, be challenged to see things and connect with the world in a different way, with less anxiety and gaining strength from each step you take forward. But remember, yoga for the mind takes just as much time and effort as yoga for the body. And, with everything in life, you get what you give. I know Louise will no doubt have your back through the process if you take the first step.
Louise has provided a wealth of wellbeing support to me since (company name) engaged her services. I have particularly benefited from meditation techniques (particularly through supported sessions) and massages to ease back and neck issues. In addition, having someone to speak to independently about whatever is going on, either from a work or personal perspective, is invaluable and Louise offers a considered, non-judgemental approach that invariably leaves you feeling better afterwards. Whilst many people are sometimes a little unsure of what wellbeing support means, I can say that it has only been a positive for me and I would highly recommend having a conversation with Louise to see how she can specifically support you.FH
Working with Louise has been eye-opening. I started my journey with her wrapped in a tight knot, not knowing how to unravel myself, where to start. Meditation, of any kind, does not come naturally to me - i'm a cardio type exerciser, a worrier, a stress-head - with two young children and a stressful, demanding job. Louise's unique work helped me to stop, to let the world keep turning without me needing to turn it. She teaches you to look inside yourself, to feel rather than think, to realise that you are your whole body, not just a head and a scrambled mind trying to constantly work out how to manage the chaos that is modern society. This is done, practically, by concentrating on your whole body, part by part, over a period of mediation which helps to focus the mind and, in fact, takes you away from thinking and into feeling. Most importantly, it helps you be present for that time that you are meditating. For me to learn this skill, like anything, involves practise and then more practise. I'm not perfect, i failed on some weeks to remember to do my work but, for the most part, i continued the practise and I found myself calmer and understanding that I don't have to try to control everything and can let life be where it's possible. I had gut issues from stress (for almost three years) and it's taught me to respect my body, to listen, to feel and to focus on the now, not just the endless tasks of the future. Louise herself is a giving, kind, intelligent lady who has been through her own journey and so you feel a sense of empathy and understanding when working with her. I highly recommend Louise to anybody over-wrought with modern life, be that physically or mentally. Thank you for opening my eyes, Louise!
I have been seeing Louise for nearly a year now and i have been on a wondrous journey of discovery. I went to see Louise for one specific issue that i experienced in my childhood and soon realised through talking over the months there were a multitude of underlying aspects I hadn’t even acknowledged. I hadn’t ever heard of the Realisation Process and it’s taken me a while to fully understand it and embrace it, it’s a concept our bodies aren’t used to and the more I get to experience it the more I see massive changes and benefits in my daily life. I’ve learnt a lot about myself and the things of my past I have been holding onto with unkindness that have come to the surface and I now meet them with understanding and a softer kind approach. Life is hectic for me as a person and a family and one of the main aspects that has changed through talking to Louise is slowing down and taking a breath which has not only benefited me but my loved ones too. Louise is a wonderful, kind and extremely caring person who is outstanding in her profession and I’m so grateful I have her lovely safe space to help navigate myself through this complex and complicated life we seem to be living. I have a long way to go still on becoming a softer version of myself but I know I will get there with all the tools I am learning and thank goodness this type of teaching is available as it’s been so beneficial to me.
