About Louise

Louise Malyan is a down-to-earth counsellor who helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or relationship problems. She works with clients facing trauma, low self-esteem, ADHD, mood difficulties and life changes. Her approach is practical and human; she focuses on what can help people feel steadier and more able to cope.

Louise draws on a mix of talking therapy and creative counselling techniques. She listens without judgement and encourages people to notice what works for them. Sessions may include reflective conversation, mindfulness practices and relationship-focused methods to improve communication and connection.

She trained with recognised bodies, holding BACP and NCPS credentials, and has three years of clinical experience. Her background includes supporting people through trauma, addiction and relationship strain, and she also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and codependency.

Louise aims to tailor each plan to the person rather than following a single model. That can mean short, focused goals one week and deeper exploration another. She explains methods in plain language and involves clients in choosing what feels most useful.

International clients may be supported in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the service process. She uses a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Louise uses Attachment-Based work to look at how early relationships shape current connections and trust, which can help with jealousy, commitment concerns and communication problems. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions focus on the person’s own goals, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection to help people find their own solutions. The Gottman Method brings clear, practical tools for improving how partners talk and manage conflict, useful for relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Louise will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses. Clients can expect shared planning and regular check-ins about what is helping.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during life changes, while still allowing practical exercises, mindful practices and conversational work to continue between meetings.
