About Louise
Louise Banks is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety and panic-related problems. She also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. Louise speaks plainly and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who may be nervous about starting therapy.
She uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's own experience at the heart of sessions. That means listening carefully and building on the strengths a person already has. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and offers practical ways to test new patterns.
Louise has 17 years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She describes the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process where the client is treated as the expert on their life and concerns.
In sessions she focuses on small, useful changes rather than big, sudden shifts. Practical suggestions and gentle reflection are mixed depending on what each person needs. She pays attention to sleep problems and motivation as part of managing anxiety and low mood.
Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Louise aims to make that step straightforward. People are invited to start with a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their situation.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story, feel heard and build on their own strengths. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers simple experiments and strategies to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree on a plan together. That makes the process collaborative and tailored rather than a one-size-fits-all method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins that suit a working day. It can also make shorter reviews or focused problem-solving sessions simpler to arrange when needed.
