About
Louise Baya
I'm a person-centred counsellor & Clinical Supervisor with a trauma informed approach working in private practice face to face in Leamington Spa, Rugby & Warwick. I also offer online & phone sessions. I'm an experienced and fully qualified counsellor and EFT ( Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner, and a registered BACP member. I found my own personal experience of therapy to be life changing, which led me to want help others.
In my late thirties, I started to notice my low mood and feelings of irritability were very present. On paper you could say I had ticked all the boxes, but there was something underlying, my inner-self was giving me a message. I started therapy and was lucky to connect with my therapist. For the first time in my life I felt able to trust someone with my light and dark parts of life, I was able to remove my mask and show all of me.
This changed my life!
Now, alongside counselling, I also offer EFT (Tapping) a gentle but powerful technique that helps to realise stress, anxiety and emotional blocks.

Supporting Children & Young People
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
