Louise Malyan, BACP, NCPS

Louise Malyan offers calm, practical support for people feeling stuck in midlife and other life changes. She aims to help people who are overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling with low self-esteem. Louise speaks plainly and listens closely to what matters most to each person.

She works with issues such as trauma, relationship strain, addiction, ADHD and mood difficulties. Sessions focus on making problems easier to manage day to day and on finding clear next steps. Louise uses creative counselling alongside talking therapy when that feels helpful.

Louise trained as an ND Integrative Creative Counsellor and holds BACP and NCPS credentials. She draws on attachment ideas and psychodynamic thinking to understand repeating patterns, and uses client-centred and mindfulness approaches to support practical change.

In sessions she aims to build a steady, respectful working relationship and to help people name what they want to change. Therapy might include exploring past relationships, improving communication, or trying short, focused exercises to reduce anxiety.

Her style is down-to-earth and empathic, with an emphasis on small, realistic steps. People who want straightforward support for midlife challenges, career strain, relationship issues or coping with major changes may find her helpful.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people spot and understand repeating relationship patterns. It looks at how earlier bonds shape current reactions and can be useful for relationship worries and midlife shifts.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting your own pace. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental presence and follows what you bring to the room, which can help with anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with change.

Finding the right way to work is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will decide which approaches to try and how to blend them. This is a collaborative, flexible conversation rather than a fixed prescription.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as joining sessions while on a break from work or when travel would be difficult. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or creative tasks that suit remote meetings. The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm what options are available when you book. The focus is on helping therapy fit daily routines and practical needs rather than on any particular delivery method.
