Services Offered

Sirius Counselling provides a wide range of services, all designed to meet the emotional and mental health needs of both individuals and families. Louise’s approach is grounded in empowering clients with practical strategies for managing their wellbeing, while also fostering self-awareness and personal growth.

1 to 1 Counselling (Online and Phone)

For those seeking confidential and supportive guidance, Louise offers private 1 to 1 counselling via phone or online sessions. These consultations provide a comfortable space for individuals to explore their concerns, express emotions, and work through any difficulties they may be facing. The flexibility of online and phone counselling makes it accessible for those who prefer to stay in their own environment or have scheduling challenges.

Walk and Talk Counselling

A unique offering from Louise is Walk and Talk Counselling, where clients can engage in counselling while walking outdoors. This approach offers a dynamic and calming environment for discussing difficult topics, with the added benefit of physical activity to enhance emotional processing and well-being.

Support for Children and Young People

Louise has extensive experience working with children and young people, particularly those facing distress due to neurodiversity, dyslexia, or dyspraxia. She provides tailored 1 to 1 counselling and uses practical strategies to help children manage stress and challenges related to their condition. In addition, Louise works collaboratively with parents, offering support to help them better understand their children’s needs and improve family dynamics.

Mindfulness and Creative Techniques

For clients seeking ways to manage stress and promote emotional balance, Louise integrates grounding techniques, mindfulness, and meditation into her counselling sessions. She also encourages creative expressions, such as journaling and art, to aid in self-reflection and emotional healing. These techniques are particularly beneficial for young people who may find it difficult to express themselves through words alone.

Holistic Self-Help Empowerment

In addition to direct counselling, Louise empowers clients to take control of their emotional and mental health with self-help strategies. She focuses on holistic wellbeing, guiding clients to take care of their mind, body, and soul. These strategies encourage personal growth and self-compassion, helping clients build resilience and a positive sense of self.
