Louise Malyan , BACP, NCPS

Louise Malyan is an empathic, down-to-earth ND Integrative Creative Counsellor who recognises how overwhelming anxiety, stuckness, and life changes can feel. She works with people facing trauma, relationship difficulties, alcohol and addiction concerns, ADHD, and low self-esteem, offering a compassionate presence that helps clients explore difficult emotions and regain a sense of direction.

Her practice focuses on trauma, complex PTSD, couples counselling, addiction, and supporting survivors of sexual abuse, though she adapts her work to each person’s needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Having navigated personal challenges herself, she brings lived experience to her therapeutic stance and understands the courage needed to reach out for help.

Louise provides a non-judgmental space where clients can unpack feelings, process past events, and take practical steps toward making life more manageable. Sessions may include talking therapy, live chat exchanges, or creative counselling techniques when words alone are not enough. The aim is to find approaches that help clients express themselves, process pain, and build a more fulfilling day-to-day experience.

She holds professional credentials - BACP and NCPS. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a major professional body for counsellors in the UK, and NCPS is a recognised professional counselling credential. Louise encourages anyone ready to take the next step to reach out and explore what therapy could look like for them.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and adult relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people understand attachment styles, address abandonment or attachment issues, and improve relationship dynamics through exploring relational history and emotional responses.

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering a non-directive, empathic space where personal experience is listened to and validated. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and coping with life changes by following the client’s pace and priorities.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices that can reduce reactivity and ease symptoms of anxiety and stress. It supports present-moment awareness and can be used alongside other therapeutic work to build emotional regulation and resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as work progresses. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine elements from different approaches to suit the individual.

Online therapy with Louise is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible ways to engage from home or other convenient locations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support across distances, and maintain continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
