About Me

Louise Bowyer

Before retraining as a therapist, I worked as a solicitor supporting asylum-seekers with their applications to remain in the UK. In that role, I witnessed the deep emotional toll of uncertainty, disconnection, and starting over in a new and unfamiliar environment. Many of the people I worked with faced immense challenges without a supportive person to turn to.

Since becoming a therapist, and through my own personal experiences, I’ve come to truly value the power of being heard and understood. During the pandemic, I volunteered for a Cruse Bereavement and saw how vital it was for people to have a space to talk about what they were going through, whether that was isolation, change, or emotional pain.

With over five years of experience working with people through life’s most difficult and transformative moments, including in a hospice and community settings, I’ve supported many individuals from all walks of life and I’d love to help you too.

I’m a fully qualified and registered counsellor with the BACP.
