About Louis
Louis Carruthers is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of practice. He offers one-to-one and couples work both in person and online. He provides a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and start to make changes.
He focuses on common concerns such as depression, anxiety and stress. Relationship issues, intimacy and family problems are also central to his work. He supports people facing eating concerns, addiction and anger, and those managing chronic illness or caregiving strain.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed method. He draws on person-centred, psychodynamic, existential and cognitive ideas to help people understand patterns. He also uses relational and embodied somatic approaches when trauma or disconnection is part of the problem.
Louis has experience in community safety, special educational needs settings, and housing for vulnerable tenants. That background informs his practical, grounded way of working and his interest in people involved with anti-social behaviour and the criminal justice system. He is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP.
His continuing professional development focuses on relational trauma and intimacy issues. He aims to work collaboratively, helping people find what actually helps day to day.

Online support
He also draws on relational and embodied somatic approaches for trauma-related issues. Relational work pays attention to how patterns show up between people and in the therapy relationship. Embodied or somatic methods notice bodily responses and use grounding or movement to reduce overwhelm and increase regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then test what fits. That collaborative stance means plans can change as progress and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and to keep continuity when in-person attendance is difficult.
