Offering warm, individualised therapy for adults across Hitchin. Whether you are struggling with persistent anxiety, processing the changes of menopause, or facing burnout in a high-pressure career, I provide a calm, confidential space to help you reflect, rebuild, and move forward.
Areas I Cover: Hitchin
A Welcoming Space Close to Home
Hello, I’m Louise. Taking time for your mental health is a vital decision, and finding a local, supportive environment makes the journey easier. Located at Amber Health, my practice is just a short drive or train ride from central Hitchin, offering a peaceful setting away from everyday pressure.
As a qualified integrative therapist, I adapt my work to suit your needs rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model. Together, we can gently unpack what you are experiencing, explore unhelpful habits, and help you regain clarity and self-esteem.
From Law to Listening: My Background
My route into counselling grew from my early career as a qualified solicitor specialising in refugee law. Working in high-stakes environments, I saw firsthand how uncertainty, workplace demands, and life changes affect emotional well-being.
That understanding, together with my volunteer experience for Cruse Bereavement Support, inspired my transition to therapy. Today, I combine clear analytical thinking with genuine warmth and empathy, giving you a safe, non-judgemental space to process difficult emotions and build resilience.
Working Together for Lasting Balance
Therapy is a collaborative process built on trust and mutual respect. You know your own story best, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you explore options and build practical tools. In our sessions, we can work together to:
- Uncover and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs.
- Develop healthy strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and low mood.
- Establish firm boundaries between personal well-being and work demands.
- Reconnect with your inner strengths and gain a clearer sense of direction.
Areas of Specialist Support
While integrative therapy covers a wide range of emotional challenges, certain life situations benefit from distinct focus and qualifications.

A dedicated space to explore whatever is making life feel difficult right now. Whether you are dealing with persistent anxiety, stress, low mood, grief, or relationship challenges, we work at your pace using short-term or ongoing support to help you reconnect with yourself.
Perimenopause and menopause can bring complex emotional shifts, anxiety, and loss of confidence alongside physical changes. Holding specialist Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) training from the British Menopause Society, I help you process these changes, manage symptoms, and restore emotional balance.
Drawing on my own background as a qualified solicitor, I understand the relentless demands, perfectionism, and risk of burnout in high-pressure careers. I offer a discreet, informed space to help legal and corporate professionals set healthy boundaries, reduce stress, and protect their well-being.
