More about Louis
- 4 years' experience

- BACP
I am an Integrative Counsellor (MBACP) and I have a private practice in the City of London and the London Borough of Bexley.
I work with adults both in-person and online on a wide range of behavioural, emotional, and relationship issues.
I am here to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings and facilitate self-awareness and movement towards healing and growth.
I have been trained in a number of modalities including person-centred, psychodynamic, existential, cognitive, and relational approaches. My practice also draws on embodied/somatic approaches to trauma. Ultimately, my approach is tailored to the client and what works best for each individual.
I am experienced working with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and family issues and relationships. My continuous professional development (CPD) is particularly focused on relationship and intimacy issues and relational trauma.
Due to my professional background, I am also comfortable and interested in working with clients involved in anti-social behaviour and the criminal justice system. I have worked in a helping capacity in the the areas of community safety and anti-social behaviour, SEN education, and housing for vulnerable tenants.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
