Louise Brannan, BACP

Louise Brannan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes, and she also supports those dealing with loss, trauma and relationship concerns. Her style is practical and respectful, and she aims to create a calm space for honest conversation.

She uses talking, guided reflection and short exercises to help people make sense of difficult feelings. Sessions often look at thoughts, emotions and everyday habits that keep problems going. Louise adapts the work to each person and offers tools you can use between sessions.

Louise brings five years of experience to her practice. That includes supporting people with long-term health challenges, chronic pain and caregiver stress, as well as issues such as addiction, bipolar disorder and ADHD. She also helps with work-related concerns like career stress and burnout.

Her approach is collaborative; she listens first and then shapes a plan with clear steps. She places value on sensitivity and respect, and on practical actions people can try straight away. Many clients start by identifying one small change and build from there.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom. International clients can be accommodated. If you want to explore whether she is the right fit, the usual next step is a short questionnaire and a scheduling conversation to find a suitable time.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online therapy

Louise draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on talking, reflection and practical exercises. One common approach helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns by gently looking at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood and decision-making difficulties.

Another technique emphasises behavioural change through small, manageable steps. It supports people to try new habits, improve sleep routines, manage anger or reduce avoidance related to trauma or chronic pain. These steps are simple to practice between sessions and build over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will listen to your goals and preferences and then agree a way forward together. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as you learn what helps and what does not.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions suit ordinary routines. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to remote sessions so progress continues even when meeting virtually.
