With a professional background rooted in education, Louise began her career as a teacher, where she witnessed the far-reaching impact of mental health challenges on high-performing individuals. This experience inspired a lifelong dedication to supporting professionals navigating complex emotional landscapes.
Her advanced training includes a Level 7 Postgraduate Diploma in Traumatology and PTSD, complemented by qualifications in Equine Facilitated Human Development — offering a unique and holistic therapeutic perspective.
Louise is known for her discreet, collaborative approach and often works alongside a select network of specialists — from autism consultants to medical herbalists and life coaches — to provide a seamless and tailored experience. Whether clients are facing burnout, trauma, or life transitions, Louise offers a safe, intelligent space for growth, clarity, and healing.
