About Louise Banks

Louise Banks is licensed in the United Kingdom and brings 12 years of professional experience to her therapeutic practice. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence challenges, depression, and difficulties with poor sleep. Drawing on practical strategies and compassionate support, she helps clients explore the patterns that contribute to their distress and build on the strengths they already possess.

Louise believes that each person is the expert of their own story and that therapy is most effective when it honours individual experience while offering structured guidance where needed. She uses a flexible mix of supportive and skills-based approaches so that interventions can be matched to the situation and the client’s goals.

Client-centered and CBT approaches for online support

Louise draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach emphasizes understanding, emotional processing, and building on personal strengths, and it can be especially helpful for grief, low self-esteem, and adjusting to life changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and stress by teaching skills that can be applied between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Louise works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her style over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care when routines change, and can help people engage in therapy in the way that feels most manageable for them.
