Louise | Counsellor
Counselling West Malling
Hi I’m Louise and I am a fully qualified BACP registered counsellor. I work with over 18s offering in-person sessions near West Malling in Kent or online from the comfort of your home from anywhere in the UK. I offer both short-term focused therapy and longer-term in-depth support.
Life can sometimes feel overwhelming - whether you’re living with anxiety, low self-confidence, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, or facing relationship, work, or major life changes. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgemental and confidential space for you to talk openly, explore what’s going on, and find a way forward that feels right for you.
I work with a wide range of issues including:-
Anxiety and stress
-
Depression and low mood
-
Low self-esteem and confidence
-
Relationship and family concerns
-
Workplace stress and burnout
-
Life transitions and personal growth
Alongside my general counselling experience I have specialist training and extensive experience in bereavement and loss through my work with a leading UK bereavement charity and a local hospice. I understand that grief is deeply personal and can affect every part of life. I offer gentle, compassionate support to help you navigate your own path through loss.
My approach is warm, grounded, and empathetic - professional but never clinical - so you can feel at ease being yourself. I listen without judgement and adapt each session to your needs, blending different counselling methods to suit your personality and situation.
Every story is unique, so whatever yours is I am confident we can work together at your pace to help you feel more grounded, understood, and able to move forward.

Online therapy
Many of the people I work with really value the flexibility of online sessions, they can connect from their own space, whether that’s at home or somewhere they feel calm and comfortable. Online counselling can make it a little easier to fit support into your week and it is as effective as meeting face to face. I have undertaken extensive training in online and telephone therapy and we can meet via MS Teams, Google Meet, or even by phone.Qualifications and registrations

Specialisations and Expertises
Alongside my general counselling and bereavement counselling experience I also have a strong understanding of workplace stresses. Before becoming a counsellor, I gained significant experience in recruitment, giving me first-hand insight into a wide range of working environments, career transitions, and the pressures people face in the workplace. I understand the dynamics of workplace culture, from high-pressure corporate settings to caring professions, and how these can affect confidence, identity, and mental health. This background allows me to support clients facing career uncertainty, workplace conflict, burnout, or major life transitions with both empathy and practical understanding.
Sometimes dissatisfaction at work isn’t just about the role itself - it can be linked to deeper personal challenges or long-standing thought patterns. Counselling provides a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore these underlying issues and discover new ways to restore balance, purpose, and wellbeing.
Most common issues I support people with:
-
Anxiety and stress
-
Depression and low mood
