Louise Brannan, BACP

Louise Brannan offers practical, person-centred counselling grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She provides a calm space to talk through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, and other life challenges. Louise works to understand each person's situation and tailors support to what matters most to them.

She uses conversation, carefully chosen exercises and simple tools to help people manage emotions and move towards their goals. Sessions focus on what the client wants to change and on small steps that feel achievable. Louise aims to be respectful, sensitive and compassionate in every meeting.

With five years of experience and BACP accreditation, Louise brings steady practical experience to her work in the United Kingdom. She has supported people dealing with career strain, sleep problems, anger, and compassion fatigue as well as longer-term issues such as bipolar and ADHD related concerns.

Additional areas she addresses include blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and commitment problems, divorce and separation, and substance use challenges. Her approach adapts to the person rather than following a fixed script.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments according to the therapist's availability. Louise helps people take steady steps towards a more manageable and more fulfilling life.

How Louise’s Approaches Translate to Online Counselling

Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on conversation, practical exercises and tools. One common approach she uses centres on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try out different ways of responding; this supports issues such as anxiety, low mood and stress. Another approach she draws on works with emotions through guided discussion and structured exercises to help with grief, trauma responses and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Louise will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the approach as needed so the work feels useful and doable.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking as they are not detailed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also make accessing international support simpler for people who live abroad, while still focusing on clear goals, regular progress reviews and practical coping tools.
