“Human change happens when we can stay present in relationship long enough to choose differently.”
About Louise
I am a relational therapist based in London, working with individuals, couples, and groups.
Before training as a therapist, I spent many years in academia, completing a PhD and building a successful academic career. Over time, I became increasingly interested in the gap between understanding and lived experience - and what it takes for real change to occur.
My work today brings together relational psychotherapy and contemplative approaches to human experience. At its core, it is grounded in helping people stay with what is real, while finding new ways to respond within their relationships.
Relational therapy for thoughtful adults and couples who understand their patterns but want real change in how they live and relate.
Many people who come to therapy already understand themselves well. They can see their patterns. They know where things come from.
They have reflected deeply.
And yet, in certain moments - in conflict, in intimacy, in everyday life - something familiar still takes over.
Reactions happen quickly.
Conversations go in circles.
Closeness becomes difficult to sustain.
Understanding alone doesn’t always change how we relate.
In this work, we slow things down enough to notice what is actually happening - in how you speak, how you respond, what you feel, and what is difficult to stay with.
Often, the patterns that shape relationships become visible in these moments.
We work with them directly.
Not only to understand them, but to begin responding differently - in ways that are more honest, more connected, and more aligned with what matters.

Presence with Structure
My approach combines presence with structure.
Presence means staying in contact with what is real - emotionally, relationally, and in the body - including what is often avoided, unspoken, or hard to face.
Structure means working directly with the patterns that shape how we relate, and taking responsibility for how we show up.
Together, they create the conditions for meaningful change.
Ways to Work With Me:
Individual, Relational Therapy
A space to explore the patterns shaping your relationships, decisions, and emotional life, and to develop greater clarity and agency in how you respond.
Couples Therapy
Working with couples to understand relational dynamics, restore respect and honesty in conflict, and rebuild connection.
Contemplative Group Therapy
Small groups where we slow down and explore relational experience in real time, developing awareness, presence, and honesty in how we relate.
