Our Mission
At Cornflower Counselling, our mission is to provide a compassionate, supportive and non-judgemental space. A space where clients feel free to safely express themselves as we support them in their journey of personal growth.
Welcome
Firstly well done for reaching out for support. It can be hard to recognise the need for help and scary to seek it. Clients often find that once they start counselling it's a lot less scary than they first thought. I will be guided by you and what you need. Clients often seek counselling in crisis which I can support you through however, if you are in immediate danger please seek help by calling 999, 111 or The Samaritans 116 123
Hi! Let me introduce myself; I'm Louise a Person-Centred Counsellor in the Southampton area. I'm a fully qualified counsellor, member of the BACP (association for professional counsellors and psychotherapists, setting ethical standards of practise).

My journey of counselling started many years ago when I began my degree in Psychology at the University of Psychology where I achieved my BSc(Hons). This enhanced my understanding of people, relationships and childhood development. After a few years working with children and working on my own journey of personal growth, my passion for counselling started to grow.
Through suffering personal bereavement, fertility problems and chronic illness, my counselling journey showed me just how freeing and life changing counselling can be. I went onto starting my counselling career by achieving my DipHE. Through working with clients as well as my own self-discovery, I learnt so much about myself, how my past was affecting the now and experienced the power of being heard and accepted in a safe space.
This is what I aim to bring to clients at Cornflower Counselling.
