About Louise
Louise Shepherd is a counsellor with seven years' experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works with clients who are emotionally drained or stuck in unhelpful patterns. She listens without judgement and focuses on small, practical steps to make daily life feel more manageable.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person. She draws on a mix of approaches to match what the person needs rather than using a single method for everyone.
Background and approach
Louise uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and helps people try different ways of responding. She also brings in Client-Centred Therapy to keep the person's experience at the heart of sessions. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with anxiety and staying present in difficult moments.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns including relationship issues, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and coping with life changes. Additional focuses include anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and career worries. Louise also supports people dealing with attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems.
Sessions are offered from the United Kingdom in English and are delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online delivery
Louise commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new responses to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centred Therapy keeps the focus on the person's own experience and helps build a trusting, non-judgemental space. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple exercises to calm the mind and reduce reactivity in stressful moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise discusses each person's goals and preferences and tailors methods collaboratively. She encourages trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as needs change so the work fits the person's life and priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction helps. Phone sessions work well for those who prefer not to be on camera or who have less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for short check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or when fitting a session into a busy day. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work and family commitments.
