About
Louise Baya
I'm a person-centred counsellor and Clinical Supervisor with a trauma-informed approach, working in private practice face-to-face in Leamington Spa, Rugby and Warwick. I also offer online and telephone counselling sessions.
I'm an experienced and fully qualified counsellor, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner and registered BACP member.
My own personal experience of therapy was life changing and led me to want to help others.
In my late thirties, I started to notice my low mood and feelings of irritability were becoming more present. On paper, you could say I had ticked all the boxes, but there was something underneath that needed attention. My inner self was giving me a message.
I started therapy and was fortunate to connect with my therapist. For the first time in my life, I felt able to trust someone with both my light and dark parts of life. I was able to remove my mask and show all of me.
This changed my life.
My experience of therapy helped me understand the importance of feeling accepted, valued and truly heard. This understanding continues to shape the way I work with clients today.
Alongside counselling, I also offer EFT (Tapping), a gentle but powerful technique that can help release stress, anxiety and emotional blocks.
A Safe Space to Be Heard, Understood and Accepted
You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious or struggling to make sense of difficult experiences.
Perhaps you are living with the impact of trauma, abuse, bereavement, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties or life changes. You may simply know that something doesn't feel right and want a space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
I offer person-centred counselling and clinical supervision in Warwickshire, providing a warm, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can talk openly at your own pace.
Together we can explore what is troubling you and help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, supporting positive and lasting change.

Children & Young People
Many young people and adolescents can experience difficult times and may struggle to understand how they are feeling. This can leave them feeling overwhelmed and, at times, unsure why they feel the way they do.
As this is a period of significant physical and emotional change, having a safe, independent, and confidential space to talk can be incredibly valuable.
How I Can Help
I offer a warm, supportive environment where young people can explore their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours at their own pace.
I can support with a range of challenges, including:
Anxiety and overwhelm
Low mood
Self-esteem and confidence
Friendship or relationship difficulties
Family changes
Trauma
Bereavement and loss
My Approach
I work in a person-centred and trauma-informed way, which means I focus on building a safe, trusting relationship where each young person feels heard, respected, and valued.
I understand that talking isn’t always easy, especially for children and adolescents.
That’s why I also work creatively, using methods such as:
Writing and journaling
Sand tray
Creative tools such as stones and objects
These approaches can help young people express and process difficult feelings in ways that feel more natural and less overwhelming.
A Safe Space
I provide a confidential and non-judgemental space where young people can begin to make sense of their thoughts and emotions. Feeling accepted and understood can support emotional growth, resilience, and positive change.
Working Together
Seeking support can feel like a big step—for both young people and parents or carers. I aim to make this process as comfortable and supportive as possible, working at a pace that feels right for each individual.

Confidentiality & Data protection
I believe for a client to benefit from meeting with me, that you need to feel safe and trust that what you share in private will be respected. In usual situations, our conversations will remain strictly confidential; however, there are exceptions as follows:
a) As part of my professional practice, I participate in regular supervision which provides an opportunity for case discussions to safeguard the well-being of us both. In these conversations with my supervisor, I do not use your name and will respect your confidentiality.
b) If I had concerns that you (or another person) were 'at risk' of harm or danger, then I may feel professionally obliged to inform a relevant person or organisation. If possible, I would endeavour to discuss this with you first.
c) Where I am legally required to e.g. child protection and terrorism.
Working Ethically
I'm a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and I work by by their framework. BACP Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions
