Louise Phillipson, NCPS

Louise Phillipson helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, sleep or eating difficulties, parenting stress, and career pressures. Louise is NCPS credentialed and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Her style is down-to-earth and non-judgemental. She focuses on building a respectful working relationship where clients can talk openly. Sessions aim to make space for strong feelings and practical steps forward rather than jargon or labels.

Louise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person. She listens for what matters most to the client and helps plan manageable changes. Expect a mix of talking, practical coping strategies, and gentle reflection.

She has worked with people facing first responder issues and those needing support with hospice and end-of-life concerns. Louise also offers help for people managing bipolar, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. Her experience includes supporting sexual orientation and LGBT-related concerns.

Many clients come because life feels overwhelming or confusing. Louise aims to make the steps toward change feel achievable. She encourages small goals, clearer routines, and ways to reduce daily stressors that get in the way of feeling better.

Approaches that guide online therapy and practical benefits

Louise works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what helps in daily life. One common approach emphasises identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety and low mood; it suits people who want concrete tools and measurable steps. Another approach centres on the therapeutic relationship and emotion processing, helping people make sense of trauma, grief or intense feelings through careful conversation and paced reflection.

Finding the right way of working is part of the journey. Louise collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals and preferences. She will check in and adapt methods as progress is made so therapy feels useful and relevant rather than fixed.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people use face-to-face dialogue when that helps, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for paced conversations, quick reflections or when typing feels easier than talking. These options give flexibility to work around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
