About me
Hello, I’m Louise, a UK-based accredited member of the NCPS and a registered member of the BACP.
As an empathic, down-to-earth Integrative Counsellor, I bring a unique blend of creativity and compassion to my work, specializing in couples therapy, trauma, anxiety, alcohol addiction, ADHD, sexual abuse, self-esteem, and complex PTSD. I know firsthand how relationship challenges, communication problems, misunderstanding, not feeling heard, emotional disconnection, or past trauma can create distance between partners, but I believe that with the right support, healing and reconnection are always possible.
I am trained in the Gottman Method and relational couples counselling, which allows me to offer both practical, research-based tools and a deeper, more emotional exploration of your relationship. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and enhancing intimacy, while relational couples counselling helps uncover deeper patterns that may be contributing to conflict or disconnection.
What sets me apart is my creative approach to counselling. I understand that sometimes words alone aren’t enough to express what you’re feeling, so as well as traditional talking therapy, I can also use creative techniques when appropriate—whether it’s storytelling, art, or other innovative methods—to help you and your partner connect on a deeper level. This approach helps unlock emotions that might otherwise remain unspoken, allowing for a more meaningful and lasting transformation in your relationship.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where both partners feel heard, respected, and validated. My style is collaborative and tailored to your needs. Whether you're navigating trust issues, communication breakdowns, or emotional wounds, we’ll work together to rebuild your relationship in a way that feels true to both of you.
Experience and Qualifications
In addition to my training in the Gottman Method and relational couples counselling, I’m a fully qualified Integrative Counsellor with a degree in counselling and a Level 4 CPCAB diploma in integrative counselling. My extensive trauma training, coupled with my private practice and work at a sexual abuse charity, gives me deep insight into the emotional and psychological factors that can impact relationships. With lived experience and a creative, grounded approach, I’m here to provide empathetic, practical, and effective support.
How I Can Help
If you’re experiencing communication breakdowns, trust issues, or a growing emotional distance, I can help you find ways to reconnect. My unique blend of the Gottman Method, relational couples counselling, and creative interventions provides a comprehensive path to healing. Together, we’ll create new ways of communicating, understanding each other’s needs, and nurturing a stronger, healthier relationship.
Let’s take this journey together towards the relationship you both deserve.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Louise Malyan. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Perfect
Louise is a great creative therapist. She has been providing great support to both me and my partner and helps us understand each other better by identifying our own triggers. She is also very straighforward which I think makes the work more effective.
I have found Louise very easy to talk to. I feel at ease when discussing all of the issues that brought me to her.
I like her style of counselling and feel she completely understands all of the things i tell her and she is able to give guidance to help support me.
I would definitely recommend Louise to others.
Very helpful an every way would recommend to anyone needing any help or support
An amazing therapist for my wife and I. I would 10/10 recommend her for anyone.
Very good and caring attitude to my problems. Gave sound advice.
Louise immediately helped us to feel like we were in a safe space. She is kind and warm and has helped us without judgement. We both love her creative approach and have found it so much easier to explore our emotions with her support. Thank you Louise.
