My Journey With Louise
​​Well where do I begin ?…. I better start at the beginning...
​
I was in a very low, dark place, a particularly bad episode, as I’ve had years of living with depression, anxiety and phobias. I decided to go private after having tried loads of therapy’s previously...I was given Louise‘s details along with a few others. I read about her work and to be honest I got in touch with Louise on the basis of being the nearest to travel to. I was kind of still thinking that any therapy probably couldn’t help me (so go with nearest for easiness).​
We set up a video call to chat firstly before going ahead. As we spoke, I couldn’t control my emotions and within half an hour, Louise knew we had to start from something in my early years that was causing the issues with my problems. Nothing to do with my phobias as such, but all connected …. if that makes sense?
​
​After my initial chat, (me sobbing and carrying on) Louise asked if I’d like to go ahead with EMDR, but I remember asking Louise 'are you sure you want to take me on ?'…. this poor lady having all my issues to contend LOL. She was happy to try and help me...
​
​I was a really down on myself person, anxieties that caused me to think suicidal thoughts because I never thought there’d be an end to my misery. Sessions started by talking …. lots of talking and Louise was professional and lovely in everyway. I cried, I smiled, I laughed and each session could be different as to what my week has been like...
​Along with my problems, I had three Phobia’s to tackle, one of my phobias was flying. To cut a long story short, I DID IT ! With less anxiety than ever before. I focused on what Louise had taught me and an extra bonus was that ….. I was worthy of that holiday!
​
​Just to sum it all up, the therapy I had with Louise has been the best out of a lot (and I mean a lot) of other treatments I’ve tried over the years. Louise is a lovely lady, kind, caring and very professional. I’m so glad I chose her, even on the basis she was the nearest to me! But would definitely chose her again if she was 100 miles away!

I came to see Louise following the traumatic bereavement of my mum. This happened just before lockdown so to manage the pain I buried it deep within. I realised this was an unhealthy and unhelpful way of managing my feelings so decided it was time to process the trauma. My primary goal was to be able to experience emotions in a healthy way and grieve for my mum. I did some research and found EMDR treatment, I then searched for EMDR therapists and found Louise. At the beginning of the treatment my head felt full, and I had very little capacity to manage anything other than day-to-day life. Since having the treatment, I feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders, my mind feels clear, and I am able to experience a range of emotions - I’m also finally grieving for my mum in a healthy and manageable way. The treatment has changed my life, and Louise’s support has been invaluable. I would highly recommend Louise, and EMDR therapy.
