Supporting you through life’s difficulties

Face to face or Online

Hi, I’m Louise

I truly believe that most of us need someone to listen and walk beside us when we’re in times of need. I genuinely care about helping you to navigate your way around whatever is causing you upset or distress. You are the expert of you, and I’ll be there to help you on your way to a happier you.

Reaching out is often one of the hardest steps, and I appreciate the bravery it can sometimes take. Finding the right counsellor can also be daunting, but taking that first step is a powerful move towards healing and personal growth.

Louise Padget | BACP & NCPS Registered Counsellor

You are unique

Everyone’s experience of life is unique. Life can present us with various challenges. I will work alongside you to help you process and work through whatever it is that is causing you issues in your life.

Confidential

I provide a safe and confidential space to talk. I offer both face-to-face and online sessions.

Professional

I take my ethical responsibilities very seriously. I am an accredited registrant of the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I am also registered with the I.C.O. and am fully insured.

About

I think everyone is different. This is why I offer an integrated approach to counselling, drawing from different models of working. Through our work exploring your issues we will find what works for you.

I will provide a safe space, both literally and figuratively, for you to explore your issues, thoughts, emotions and behaviours that are causing you to seek counselling. Through our sessions I will listen, and we can talk and reflect on your concerns, empowering you to find your way to your happier self.

You can expect a warm and approachable counsellor who genuinely cares about the work we will do together. After your initial enquiry is received I will endeavour to reply within 24hrs. We will arrange a suitable time for a free 15 minute chat to gain a little more information on how I will be able to help you, and if we think we’re a good fit for each other. In your first session we will take some of the time to go through and agree the counselling contract, which I can send to you in advance, then get into the counselling work itself.

I attend monthly clinical supervision and I am committed to Continual Professional Development.
