Louise Coady

I have limited Availability in my practice. 

I work from an Integrative approach, underpinned by theories such as Cognitive Behavioural, Person Centred and Psychodynamic theories, as well as an Interpersonal therapeutic approach. 

I can also offer structured therapy solely in CBT and Interpersonal Psychotherapy if required. 

I work from an Integrative approach, using what is needed and tailored to the client at any given time. 

During those 9 years, I have worked with Adults, Adolescents, Children and Young people, experiencing a range of difficulties such as depression, anxiety disorders, anger management, bereavement, loss, relationship difficulties, family issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, confidence, stress, and those struggling with maladaptive recurring life patterns or lack direction in their life.

If you are having difficulties within your life, or experiencing emotional pain and just can’t seem to overcome them no matter what you do. I am here to work alongside you, support you and explore your feelings and thoughts within a safe, warm, non judgemental and confidential space.

I am down to earth and aim to make you feel safe and heard while we work together to process and address what you are finding difficult. We will work at your pace, and I will change and adapt my approach as appropriate. There is no ‘one size fits all’ to my practice because we are all unique and require different things to flourish.

Experiencing difficulties is a natural part of life. Through counselling you will have the space to explore, gain awareness and learn new skills to help you manage or overcome things that once felt impossible. You may often find it very challenging to be honest with Family and Friends about the difficulties you are experiencing. This is where counselling can be so beneficial. It offers a space to be supported, and work through your difficulties with someone from an objective stance.

My diverse client work and training over many years has enabled me to become neurodivergent aware and trauma Informed in my practice..

Finding the right therapist for you is important and it is vital you make the right decision. If you would like to contact me then please do get in touch with any questions about the therapy.

During our first session I will conduct a verbal assessment where we will explore your needs for Counselling. 

The initial session will last for the duration of a full session and is charged at a reduced rate. 

There will be no contracting or expectations to commit to therapy at this point until we have both agreed that we are a good fit to begin work together. 

Following the initial session and an agreement to continue work, I will then send the therapeutic contract for you to complete and return before our next session. During this time, I am happy for you to contact me if you have any questions about the contract. 

All enquiries made will be responded to via email.

I have limited availability in my practice. 

Supervision Sessions cost £70 per hour or £85 for 1.5 hours

Days of work - Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays 9-3, if requested evening availability may be considered online. 

My approach to supervision supports those working with adults, Children and Young people in an organisational, third sector, health or private practice setting.

I work from the 7-Eyed Model of Supervision, developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet. This is a framework that outlines the different perspectives a clinical supervisor should consider in their supervision practice. These “eyes” represent different areas of focus for both the supervisor and the supervisee. Here’s a brief overview:

1. The Client’s Eye: Focus on the client and their needs, goals, and the work being done with them.

2. The Supervisee’s Eye: Focus on the supervisee’s personal and professional development, their feelings, strengths, and challenges in the work.

3. The Supervisor’s Eye: The supervisor’s role, their experience, and how they engage with the supervisee. It includes their values, emotions, and approach to supervision.

4. The Supervisory Relationship Eye: The dynamics between the supervisor and supervisee, how they relate, and the working alliance.

5. The Context Eye: The broader context in which supervision is taking place, including organisational and societal factors, policies, and institutional support.

6. The Process Eye: Focus on the process of supervision itself—how the supervision sessions are conducted, how feedback is given, and how the learning environment is structured.

7. The Reflection Eye: This focuses on the supervisee’s reflection on their practice, personal growth, and self-awareness. It emphasises critical thinking and insight development.

Together, these “eyes” offer a comprehensive approach to supervision, ensuring that all aspects of the supervisee’s learning, the client’s needs, and the dynamics of the supervisory relationship are attended to.

I look forward to working with you and supporting your professional development. If you feel we would be suited to working together, please feel free to reach out to arrange an Initial consultation to discuss how we can work together to achieve your learning goals.
