Louise Bell, BACP

Louise Bell works primarily with people who have experienced loss, emotional or physical abuse, narcissistic relationships, trauma, and divorce. She frames each therapeutic relationship around the individual, taking time to understand how life events have shaped current feelings and behaviours. By exploring what clients are still carrying from the past, she helps identify the specific burdens that interfere with day-to-day wellbeing and relationships.

Working together, Louise uses a range of practical techniques to help clients release past traumas and reduce the hold of negative events. This approach supports people managing anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and low self-confidence, with the aim of helping them move forward with greater relief and renewed purpose. She also offers practical guidance for setting boundaries and coping with narcissistic behaviour, while acknowledging the potential consequences that such changes can bring.

Louise provides targeted support for bereavement and helps clients find ways to navigate grief after losing a loved one. She also works with teenagers on emotional regulation, self-esteem, and interpersonal challenges as they move through adolescence. Throughout her practice she creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can vent, cry, or reflect. Louise is a BACP professional - BACP stands for British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - and she treats seeking support as a proactive step toward self-care and personal growth.
