Counselling West Malling

Hi, I’m Louise, a fully qualified and BACP-registered counsellor. I work with adults aged 18 and over, offering in-person sessions in Kingshill, near West Malling in Kent, as well as online counselling across the UK. Many clients find online therapy a flexible and accessible way to fit support into busy lives.

I provide a professional, confidential, and supportive space where you can reflect on your experiences, gain clarity, and work towards meaningful change. I offer both short-term, focused therapy and longer-term, in-depth support, depending on your individual needs.

People come to counselling for many reasons - feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low in mood, lacking confidence, or facing challenges in relationships, work, or life transitions. I provide a calm, non-judgemental environment where you can explore what’s going on and begin to move forward at your own pace.

I work with a wide range of issues, including:

• Anxiety and stress
• Grief and bereavement
• Depression and low mood
• Low self-esteem and confidence
• Relationship and family concerns
• Workplace stress and burnout
• Life transitions and personal growth
• ADHD and neurodiversity

Alongside my general counselling practice, I have experience working with younger adults navigating identity, relationships, and early career decisions, and I recognise that the longer-term impact of the pandemic has shaped many people’s confidence, sense of direction, and stability during key stages of development. Alongside this, I have particular experience in bereavement and loss, having worked with a UK bereavement charity and within a hospice setting, which has given me a strong understanding of how deeply personal grief can be and the importance of compassionate, individualised support. Before training as a counsellor, I worked in recruitment, providing valuable insight into workplace dynamics, career development, and the pressures many people face professionally. I support clients with career decisions, workplace stress, burnout, and periods of transition, combining empathy with practical understanding.

My approach is warm, grounded, and empathetic - professional without feeling clinical. I work in an integrative, person-centred way, adapting each session to suit your needs, personality, and circumstances. I believe that a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of meaningful and lasting change.

Whatever you’re facing, we can work together to help you feel more understood, more balanced, and better able to move forward.
