About Louisa…
I am a Psychologist and IFS Therapist based in Hampshire. I work both online and in my therapy room in Colden Common, near Winchester.
I offer therapy sessions for:
Adults
Children and young people
Parent/s and children
Couples
I have been working with children, young people and families for over ten years in various roles, including for the last three years as a Child and Educational Psychologist for a Local Authority, a role I love and practice on a part-time basis.
I have a deep curiosity about people, and the beautiful and often painful complexities of being human. My personal and professional experience (and a hearty evidence base) has shown me that a whole-body approach, involving and inviting all our parts, is the most conducive to healing.
My therapeutic practice combines many different Psychological and Whole-Body practices, and my main modality is Internal Family Systems (IFS), which is an evidence-based approach. IFS provides a guiding framework within which I can beautifully incorporates all of my learning. It invites and welcomes work with the body and the mind, our thinking parts and our feeling parts, and gives us a clear and practical pathway to genuine self-understanding and healing. My therapy style is also adaptable to meet the needs of my unique clients. If you want to learn more about my history, and the work that has brought me to IFS and the Therapist I am today, head to this blog post.
