About Louise

Louise Malyan is a compassionate counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. She works with issues such as trauma, relationship difficulties, addictions, ADHD and low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Conversations are down-to-earth and practical so a person can talk through what is hardest to face. She uses a blend of approaches chosen to fit each person rather than one fixed method.

Sessions can include talking therapy, creative counselling techniques, and mindfulness practices to help manage difficult feelings and reactions. The Gottman Method is part of her approach when relationship communication and connection are a focus.

Louise holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years' experience working with a range of concerns. Her background includes supporting people with complex trauma, survivors of sexual abuse, and those dealing with addictions.

She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Therapy with Louise is collaborative.

She aims to offer a non-judgemental space where someone can unpack feelings, process past experiences, and try practical steps to feel steadier day to day. Creative options are available when talking alone does not feel enough.

Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can find a format that fits their life. International clients are accepted and Louise will work with each person to tailor goals and methods to their situation.

How Louise brings therapeutic approaches online

Louise commonly draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship communication and patterns, helping people learn practical skills for clearer dialogue and connection. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current emotional needs and responses, which can be useful for attachment issues and relationship concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and working at the person's pace to build trust and clarity.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques and adapting them as progress is made so the therapy feels useful and relevant.

Online formats provide practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that suits, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, and live chat or text messaging offer shorter check-ins or a way to reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family commitments or different time zones while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping skills.
