About Louise

Louise Malyan offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She helps with anxiety, stress, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. Louise is also experienced supporting people managing ADHD, bipolar symptoms and the aftermath of trauma.

She works in a compassionate, down-to-earth way. Sessions are conversational and practical. Louise aims to help people name what is happening, find coping strategies and try small changes that make daily life easier.

Her practice draws on several established approaches. Client-centred work keeps the person and their goals central. Attachment-based ideas look at how past relationships affect present worries and patterns. Psychodynamic thinking helps uncover recurring themes that keep problems repeating.

Mindfulness tools are used to build calm and reduce rumination. The Gottman Method informs work around communication and relationship patterns when that is relevant. Louise adapts methods to each person rather than using a single fixed model.

She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has three years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, and English is the language used.

To begin a course of sessions, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability. The subscription can be cancelled at any time and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Approaches you can try online with a therapist

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotions. It can help people who notice repeated relationship problems, attachment anxiety or trouble trusting others. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and putting your goals at the centre of the work; it helps build self-awareness and confidence by following the person’s pace and priorities. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination, ease anxiety and improve mood in everyday moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and recommend methods to try. This collaborative approach means techniques can be adjusted as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online formats offer practical benefits for fitting therapy into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps rapport. Phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to connect between sessions or to share thoughts in writing. These options provide flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments.
