Evidence-based approaches and flexible online support



Louise Alexander works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. One common approach she uses focuses on practical skills - helping clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, low mood, and relationship difficulties. This approach helps people develop coping strategies and clearer ways of managing everyday stressors.

Louise also adopts a trauma-informed approach for those affected by abuse or distressing life events - prioritising safety, stabilisation, and paced processing so clients can work through traumatic memories and their emotional impact when they are ready. This work aims to reduce symptoms such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and persistent shame or guilt.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Louise collaborates with each client to explore what fits best with their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adapting techniques over time as needed.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to access support around work, family life, or mobility constraints. These formats offer flexibility to schedule sessions at suitable times and to continue therapy from the comfort of home while maintaining regular contact with a registered professional.
