Luise Sargent, BACP

Luise Sargent is a psychotherapist with ten years' experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship and family concerns. She supports people dealing with low self-esteem, grief, addiction and trauma. She also works with issues around parenting, eating and sleeping, anger and career change. Luise welcomes clients who want practical ways to manage everyday thoughts and habits.

She uses a calm, non-judgemental style to make conversations straightforward and easy to follow. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can be put into practice between meetings. Luise listens first, then helps people spot unhelpful thinking and habits that keep problems going.

Her approach draws on client-centred ideas to keep the person’s experience at the heart of therapy. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. These methods are used to tackle issues like anxiety, low mood, and relationship strain.

Luise is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted, and she aims to match therapy to each person’s needs and life situation.

To begin, Luise asks people to describe what they want to change. From there she helps build a plan that suits day-to-day life and the practical demands people face.

How her approaches work for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears and helps people find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone wants a supportive space to talk through difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thinking and try small behaviour changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, low mood and patterns that affect everyday habits.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting clear, achievable goals. It uses short-term steps and what is already working to build positive change. This can be helpful when someone wants fast, practical improvements in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and collaborate with the client to choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as the therapy progresses.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking. Confirming options lets you pick what fits your routine and environment. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and can reduce time spent commuting. It also allows shorter check-ins or sessions that match a busy day when needed.
