About Luise

Luise Sargent is a BACP-registered psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma, grief and codependency. Luise also supports people facing parenting challenges, career stress, sleep and eating difficulties, and the emotional effects of life changes.

In sessions she talks through what is getting in the way of feeling more like yourself. Luise uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify patterns, for example people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or getting lost in relationship dynamics. She draws on practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to test unhelpful thoughts and from Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals.

Her style is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which means she listens to the person’s priorities and reflects them back in plain language. That approach is useful when someone is trying to make sense of attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, or intimacy-related problems. Luise keeps explanations direct and avoids jargon so people can use what they talk about between sessions.

People come to work on a single problem or several linked issues, such as anger with relationship breakdown or anxiety alongside caregiving stress. She also supports those managing long-term conditions like bipolar or cancer-related distress, focusing on coping strategies and day-to-day adjustments.

Sessions are practical and conversational. Luise will agree on goals with each person and review progress as work continues. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before booking a first session.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy is about listening to what matters to the person and responding in a way that reflects their priorities. It helps when someone needs to understand how past attachment experiences affect current relationships. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments. That approach is useful for anxiety, low mood and compulsive patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on setting short-term, practical steps and building on what already works for the person.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and everyday demands. Together they decide which methods to try, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.

Session formats are not listed here; please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel. They can reduce time spent travelling, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to be on camera for every session if that suits the person. Registered and accredited professionals can offer these practical benefits while working with the client to find the best approach for their situation.
