Louise Malyan, BACP, NCPS

Louise uses attachment-based work to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how past bonds affect present feelings. This approach can be useful for relationship worries and for people who notice repeated difficulties in trust or closeness.

She also draws on client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and helping the person lead the pace of sessions. That method suits people who want a steady, accepting space to talk through emotions and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try out methods and adapt them to what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit short check-ins or low-bandwidth situations, and messaging options can be used for ongoing reflection or if someone prefers written communication. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, and allow people to keep progress going when meeting in person is difficult.
