Louise Rossiter

My foundational approach is person centred, this puts you at the heart of the process, giving you the space to bring the issues most important to you, which may change as therapy progresses. My role particularly at the beginning is that of supportive guide as your personal themes and challenges arise. As an integrative therapist I can draw from a number of models as and when they seem most helpful/appropriate. I tailor sessions to your needs. You are a unique person after all. I would be interested in exploring with you your history in as much as it is impacting your present experiences so you can with compassion make sense of beliefs or behaviours which are no longer serving you. Ultimately, this broader perspective can create space for new and more adaptive ways of engaging with your world.

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent 6 years working as a psychology lecturer in a University in the UK. I also have many years’ experience as a holistic therapist both teaching and practicing. This has provided deep insights into neurobiological processes which combined with specific trauma training (CCTP/CCTP-II) informs my approach to this type of work to disrupt trauma responses and increase emotion regulation capacities to free you from the devastating impacts of painful and frightening experiences.  

I offer weekly or fortnightly sessions either online or face to face. Sessions are open ended and so could be brief and targeted for  specific agreed objectives or longer term dependant on your needs.   

The first counselling session is a no cost initial consultation offering you a chance to tell me about yourself and what issues are affecting you. We can discuss what you would like to achieve from counselling.
