Lou is a trauma-informed psychotherapist who believes that real healing happens when insight is embodied, not just understood. Her approach goes beyond talk therapy, integrating neuroscience, evidence-based modalities, and experiential work that engages both the mind and body.
Lou designs treatment plans that address emotional, cognitive, and somatic layers of experience. Each process is personalised, helping clients release long-held emotional patterns, regulate the nervous system, and rebuild a secure sense of self.
Her work blends Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Clinical Hypnotherapy, CBT and Psychodynamic principles to bring awareness into action. Techniques such as guided imagery, somatic awareness, inner-child work, and emotion processing exercises are used to help clients move beyond mere understanding, toward actual, felt change.
Lou’s therapeutic process supports clients in:
-
Healing trauma and attachment wounds held in the body
-
Regulating overwhelming emotions and anxiety responses
-
Rewriting core beliefs that drive self-doubt or unworthiness
-
Reconnecting with intuition and self-trust
-
Cultivating a calmer, safer, and more integrated inner world
Outside of individual therapy, Lou also facilitates psychoeducational workshops and group experiences designed to deepen emotional intelligence, resilience, and connection.
Her guiding philosophy is simple: healing is not a single event, but a return to wholeness.
Notice on Professional Pathway
I hold a Master’s Degree in Neuroscience & Psychology from King’s College London, and am a member registered with Singapore Psychological Society (SPS). I am a Psychotherapist; my focus and training are in psychotherapy.
My training is grounded in evidence-based modalities such as CBT, EFT, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
I practise under ongoing clinical supervision and continuous professional development (CPD) to ensure safe, ethical, and effective practice.
My professional pathway is distinct from the traditional Singapore Association for Counselling (SAC) counselling route, and I am therefore not currently SAC-registered. While SAC registration is not a legal requirement for psychotherapeutic practice in Singapore, I value professional rigour. As such, I am in the process of bridging relevant requirements through an SAC-affiliated institute as part of my continued professional development.
Hi! I'm Lou.
I bring with me a background in neuroscience, psychology, and clinical hypnotherapy but more than that, I bring deep respect for the messy, layered, and beautiful experience of being human.
What shapes my practice is a natural psycho analytic flair - an attunement to the subtle, the unspoken, and the spaces in-between. I’ve often been told I have a sharp eye for nuance, and a way of gently naming what’s hidden beneath the surface. This makes my journey with you in your self-discovery different.

Whatever brought you here, know that this space is built with care. I work relationally, which means I care about who you are beneath the coping. Your nervous system, your stories, your needs - they matter here.
If you're ready to shift from survival to self-awareness, from coping to connection, you're in the right place.
