Louis Carruthers, BACP

Louis Carruthers is an integrative counsellor working from a private practice in the City of London and the London Borough of Bexley. He offers therapy to adults and couples both in-person and online, supporting a wide range of behavioural, emotional, and relationship concerns. Louis creates a non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, build self-awareness, and work toward personal growth and healing.

He has trained in multiple modalities including person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive, and relational approaches, and he incorporates embodied and somatic methods when addressing trauma. His practice is tailored to each client so that therapy reflects the individual needs and what works best for them. Continuous professional development is focused on relationship and intimacy issues, with particular attention to relational trauma.

Louis has experience working with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, family difficulties, and relationship challenges. He is also experienced and comfortable working with clients who have been involved in anti-social behaviour or the criminal justice system, drawing on prior roles in community safety, special educational needs settings, and housing support for vulnerable tenants. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and works in line with its ethical framework.
