Louise Brannan, BACP

Louise Brannan is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on five years of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and difficult life changes. Louise uses talking, reflection and practical tools to support clients towards their goals. She treats everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.

In sessions she focuses on understanding thoughts and feelings, then works with each person to build a simple plan. That plan can include exercises to try between meetings and ways to handle day-to-day problems. Louise helps people struggling with relationships, self-esteem, grief, addiction issues and sleep difficulties. She also supports those facing career strain, burnout and compassion fatigue.

Her practice covers complex concerns such as trauma and abuse, bipolar and ADHD alongside covert issues like codependency and control problems. Additional areas include aging and geriatric issues, blended family matters, cancer and chronic illness, caregiving stress and fatherhood concerns. She will adapt the conversation to what matters most to the individual.

Louise emphasises practical steps as well as giving space to talk. Sessions are shaped around each person's pace and aims. She aims to empower clients to make changes that feel manageable and meaningful.

Sessions are provided from the United Kingdom and are offered in English. International clients are accepted; anyone interested should confirm current session options before booking.

Approaches that guide online work

Many of Louise's methods focus on talking and practical exercises that people can use between sessions. One common approach is addressing thoughts and feelings directly through structured conversation, which helps when anxiety, depression or low self-esteem get in the way of daily life. Another is using short practical tasks and coping strategies to manage stress, sleep problems and addictive behaviours, giving clear actions to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques best suit their needs and goals. That might mean trying an exercise for a few weeks and then adjusting the plan based on what feels most helpful.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as current formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quieter check-in during a lunch break or after work. It can also let people access a therapist from a different region, which may be useful for those seeking specific experience or flexibility.
