About
My name is Louise Connolly. I am a pre-accredited psychotherapist. I came to psychotherapy through a deep curiosity about people’s lives and a belief in the value of counselling and psychotherapy. Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent 20 years in the corporate sector, which gave me a strong understanding of the pressures of working life and this helps me to support clients experiencing work-related stress and challenges to their wellbeing.
My Approach
As an integrative psychotherapist, I work from a person-centred approach while drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities and evidence-based practices. These include Person-Centered , Gestalt, psychoanalysis, attachment, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches. This flexible and adaptive way of working allows me to tailor therapy to each individual, supporting you as you explore your unique needs and goals. I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to support you in exploring and making sense of your experiences. I believe that the body carries important wisdom, and therapy can help you reconnect with what you need to heal.
I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation of meaningful change. I strive to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and safe to be yourself.
