About Louise Flory

Louise Flory is a BACP accredited therapist with more than 25 years of clinical experience, bringing extensive work from the charity sector into her practice. She has supported people through roles at Mind, two bereavement charities and an organisation for adults who experienced sexual abuse in childhood, which has shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach and an ability to help clients feel understood and heard.

Her foundation in psychodynamic training informs how she explores patterns rooted in early relationships and family of origin dynamics, while ongoing professional development keeps her practice current and focused. Recent training includes Barnado's Certificate in Adoption Support Counselling (2023) and Shape of Grief's Level Three Advanced Certificate in Grief and Loss (2025), reflecting a particular expertise in bereavement and adoption-related work.

Louise combines warmth and empathy with practical knowledge of grief, supporting people after a recent death or many years of unresolved loss. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, cancer-related grief, guilt and shame, isolation and life purpose, and has experience with young adult and women’s issues. Her style is compassionate and attentive, aiming to create a space where clients can speak openly about what they need to say.

Therapeutic approaches for grief and attachment online

Louise draws on psychodynamic work to help people explore how early relationships and family patterns influence present feelings and behaviours. This approach looks at recurring themes such as attachment, abandonment and family of origin issues to bring greater self-understanding and new ways of relating.

She also specialises in grief-focused counselling, offering targeted support for bereavement whether a death was recent or happened years ago. This work helps people sit with painful feelings, process loss, and find ways to adapt to life after significant change.

For those affected by adoption, foster care or related attachment challenges, Louise’s additional training in adoption support informs focused conversations about identity, connection and family dynamics. Together with the client she considers which approach or combination of approaches feels most helpful, making the choice a collaborative process guided by individual needs and goals.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy lives and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from home or on the go, and allow Louise to tailor session style and pacing to whatever format best suits each person.
