About Louise Shepherd
Louise specialises in helping clients who carry the pressure of being "the strong one," supporting them to notice patterns of stress, address burnout, and rebuild emotional resilience. Her approach focuses on understanding the whole person rather than treating isolated symptoms, and she helps people find practical, sustainable ways to cope and move forward.
As a member of the BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and represents trained counsellors and psychotherapists, Louise follows recognised professional standards. She welcomes clients who want to work through anxiety, exhaustion, relationship strain, or the difficulty of balancing many demands, and she aims to create a collaborative, nonjudgmental partnership to support change and recovery.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Louise draws on client-centered therapy, which places the individual's experience at the heart of sessions and emphasises empathy, active listening, and collaboration to help people feel heard and understood. This approach is useful for those working through life changes, relationship strain, or feelings of being overwhelmed.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, goal-oriented method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop alternative coping strategies. CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that contribute to burnout.
Mindfulness therapy is included to help clients build present-moment awareness and stress-management skills. Simple mindfulness practices can support emotional regulation and reduce the intensity of anxious or ruminative thinking.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Louise works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy with Louise is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people juggling work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access support from home or while travelling.
