Louise Malyan , BACP, NCPS

Louise Malyan is an empathic, down-to-earth ND Integrative Creative Counsellor who understands what it feels like to be overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She works with people facing trauma, relationship challenges, alcohol-related difficulties, ADHD, and low self-esteem, offering grounded support and practical ways to move forward.

Her practice includes specialist work with trauma and complex PTSD, couples counselling, and addiction, and she offers informed support for survivors of sexual abuse. Drawing on lived experience as well as professional training, she creates a non-judgmental space where clients can unpack difficult feelings, process what has happened, and explore steps toward recovery and greater emotional balance.

Louise believes each therapy journey should be tailored to the individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. She uses a mix of talking therapy, live chat, and creative counselling techniques to help clients find the approaches that suit them best. She holds credentials with BACP and NCPS, indicating membership of recognised professional counselling organisations, and integrates those professional standards into her collaborative and person-focused work.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that develop from early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections. This approach helps people understand attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and repeated relationship difficulties so they can build more secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating space for the client to lead at their own pace. It emphasizes respect, understanding, and collaboration, which can be especially useful for people dealing with low self-esteem, anxiety, or the aftermath of trauma.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple, present-moment practices to help reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation. It is often used alongside other approaches to support stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Louise works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
