Hi, My name is Louise and you are very welcome. I’d just like to start by saying how humbled I am you have chosen to reach out and research the help that is out there to support you on your journey. From personal lived experience, I know how hard the first step of finding someone to trust and work with is. Whether you are new to finding a therapist, or had counselling before, you are very welcome here.

I’ve lived a sober life for a few years now, I have quite a few 24 hours under my belt. I am diagnosed ADHD. I have lived experience of trauma and am a survivor. I have had a colourful journey and experienced many things that have driven my career in counselling to support others, to create a safe space in the same way that space was created for me.

The power of talking and being with someone who gets it, in my experience is invaluable and the first step to healing and getting to a different place.

I’m very down to earth. I care deeply about what I do. I trained for 4 years and have continue to be dedicated to learning as much as I can to help others on their paths. I’m an avid reader and leaner and continue to learn new skills because I have a passion for what I do. A true fire in my belly to help those struggling.

I truly believe people have the solutions inside of them and my job is stay alongside and help them get there.

Not every counsellor is for every client. Counselling may not have felt right for you before, it just may not have been the right therapist or the right time, rather than counselling not being for you. I had to kiss a lot of frogs before I found the perfect one myself! So I get it. I am kind, empathic, and have a sense of humour and am passionate about walking alongside those and supporting them on their counselling journey.

Counselling can feel scary and emotional, and I like to think I’m a solid container who can hold that for my clients at the times they choose to come to me for help. I am innovative, a little different, and offer creative ways to explore your needs. You certainly don't have to be an art expert, far from it. However working with sand, therapy cards, collage, Russian dolls, pens, paper and paint, for example work because sometimes words are not enough. I counsel in person, online and in the great outdoors with walk and talk therapy. I want to make counselling accessible for everyone.

I offer face to face support in a beautiful idyllic Kent countryside setting. I also offer online and walk and talk therapy. If you would like a free no obligation 10 min call to discuss your needs, have a chat to see if we are the right fit for each other, then please email me at louisemalyancounselling@gmail.com or use the contact me button.

I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the very best on your journey
