‘Trauma can be any stressful life event where we feel helpless or overwhelmed’

Louise is passionate about supporting people in their recovery from traumatic events. She wholeheartedly believes that healing from trauma is possible.

Louise, a registered nurse and accredited psychotherapist, has spent the majority of her career working in the NHS. Having spent many years as a nurse in ICU, her interest in supporting people following their survival of a critical illness, led her to re-train as a counsellor/psychotherapist. Since then, Louise has worked closely with NHS staff, patients and family members developing her speciality in trauma therapy as well as undertaking further training in trauma processing and self-regulation techniques. She has also done research in this field.

CRM Trainings – Basic, DID & Advanced CRM with Core Self.

Hello, I live in Scotland and can offer an audio-visual service if you feel that we could work together.

My career as a Mental/Health Practitioner includes 20 years as an Occupational Therapist in the NHS. This has given me a para-medical background and a profound acceptance that we cannot separate the mind and body.

My post-grad training in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy started in 2010. I have continued to learn and grow. My work is informed by evidenced-based neuroscience and current research on the advances in psychotherapy approaches and treatments.

I believe that all therapy should be bespoke and individualised. At the end of the day, it’s about you and your need whether it’s:-

• Counselling  –  seeking counsel for something quite specific.
• Life Coaching –  to talk through a decision or a crossroad you are facing.
• Psychotherapy – a CRM journey of healing and recovery from past events. 90min
• Supervision –  for mental health practitioners, counsellors, psychotherapists (COSCA Supervision Cert)

I am an advocate of somatic psychotherapy. This means that it’s more than just a talking therapy.

The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) allows the brain and body to establish a physiological state of sufficient safety in order to create a new window of emotional tolerance. This has proven very effective for trauma, addictions, eating disorders, phobias and severe anxiety issues.

You set the pace but together, we build your inner resources to work through the protective layers that have usually taken years to build. Layers that have protected you but also, possibly, stopped the ’truth’ being brought into the light to allow for re-membering, re-framing, re-consolidation, and re-integration.

What happens next?

Once you have made contact through email: sltherapies@outlook.com

we’ll arrange a free 20-minute online conversation through Microsoft Teams or Signal.

This will give you a chance to decide if you want to work together.

If we decide to go ahead, I will send you some paperwork to complete and my payment details.

… and that’s it!
