Louise Bell
Gentle support after loss and trauma
About Louise
Louise Bell helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and offers a calm, steady presence for someone who needs to talk things through. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelming feelings and rebuild confidence so everyday life feels more manageable.
She listens for the story behind the struggle. That means looking at past hurts, difficult relationships, and events that continue to affect day-to-day life.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on identifying what a person is still carrying and finding ways to let go of what no longer serves them. Practical coping skills are a strong part of her work. That can include drawing boundaries, handling controlling or narcissistic behaviour in relationships, and building emotional regulation tools.
These are taught in straightforward, repeatable steps to use outside sessions. She also gives focused support for bereavement and the complex feelings that follow loss. The emphasis is on pacing the work so someone can grieve while still functioning and finding ways to remember and move forward.
Louise uses a mix of talking therapies and evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which appears as BACP. She offers sessions in English and provides several online formats to suit different situations.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy. The therapist follows the person’s lead, offering understanding and reflection to help them make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach is useful when someone needs a steady, accepting space to talk about difficult experiences.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep anxiety or low mood going. CBT can help with stress, anxiety and low self-esteem by teaching clear tools to try between sessions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Louise will discuss options and tailor the approach to each person’s goals and preferences. That way the plan stays collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different routines and needs. Video calls allow a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets someone reflect in writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or busy days while keeping the focus on practical progress.
