About me

I am Louise Tych (pronounced Tick) BA Hons. (Counselling), MBACP (Accred.), UKRCP (Registered). I am a highly qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist with over fifteen years experience.

I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and a member of EMDR UK & Europe. I have trained in Eye Movement Desinsitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and am currently working towards accreditation. EMDR is an N.H.S evidence based therapy, approved by N.I.C.E guidelines, which is proven to be very successful in helping clients with a history of trauma or PTSD.

My core therapeutic model is Person Centred. My BA Honours degree in Counselling is from St Martin's College Lancaster, accredited with Lancaster University. My Practioner’s Diploma is also from St Martin's College Lancaster, which runs some of UK’s most highly acclaimed counselling training courses, accredited by the BACP. I am qualified in IAPT Counselling for Depression (CfD), Keele University. I am passionate in deepening my knowledge and skills and have recently trained in Compassion Focused Therapy (Prof Paul Gilbert, Birmingham University), which fits very well with my Person Centred values. I have trained extensively in Expressive Arts Therapy (with Dinah Brown - a long term Natalie Rogers’ collaborator). I also have extensive training in Hypnotherapy both with BSCAH and NCH. I have some Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) training, having attended a ‘CBT with heart’ training course designed for experienced counsellors. I offer my clients an integrative approach specific to their individual needs and preferences.

My practice includes both short and longer term work. Client appointments take place in my therapy rooms in Grange-over-Sands in South Cumbria, with the choice of a calm and peaceful loft room with distant views over the bay, or a more easily accessible cozy ground floor room with a garden view. There is plenty of parking, and a ground floor toilet. My therapy rooms are within a ten minute (uphill!) walk from Kents Bank Station, for clients who are travelling by train.

I share the philosophy and beliefs of Carl Rogers, having repeatedly experienced the energy the counselling relationship creates and witnessed many times the insights and positive shifts that have taken place for clients through this process.

I will offer you a non judgmental calm safe space. I believe you are the expert in you, and I will do my best to help you find your own way of understanding, making sense, accepting, and processing, so that helpful positive shifts can take place.
