About Louise
Louise Alexander welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, panic, low mood or big life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people find steady footing when everyday things start to feel too much. Louise aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person’s story.
She works from the belief that people are experts in their own lives and already carry strengths that can be built on. In sessions she helps clients notice patterns, try small practical changes and build ways of coping that fit day-to-day life. Conversations focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of her, such as panic attacks, constant worry or recurring thoughts about the past.
Louise has eight years of professional experience in the UK and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She has supported people through stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Her additional interests include social anxiety, abandonment, guilt and shame, seasonal mood changes and sexual assault recovery.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aiming to make therapy useful from the start. Sessions cover practical strategies and chance to make sense of difficult experiences. Louise encourages people to move at their own pace while testing out new ways to face triggers and regain confidence.
To begin, a short questionnaire helps match priorities and schedule a first appointment. The process is collaborative, with attention to what will help each person feel steadier in daily life.
Approaches that help with panic and anxiety online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to help people manage panic and anxiety. One common approach focuses on learning practical coping skills for acute symptoms - breathing, grounding and brief behavioural experiments that reduce the immediate intensity of panic and teach alternative responses. This approach helps when rapid relief and skill practice are priorities.A second strand emphasises making sense of patterns that keep anxiety cycling. This involves looking at thoughts, triggers and avoidance behaviours and gently testing different responses. It is useful for longer-term changes to reduce recurring panic and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and lifestyle. Together they check what helps, adapt techniques and focus on small, achievable steps rather than one-size-fits-all answers.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting therapy around daily life and keeping momentum between sessions. Online sessions can save travel time and make it easier to schedule brief check-ins on a lunch break or after work.
