Trauma-Informed Counsellor &
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner
based in Marlborough, Wiltshire

Louise Molloy, Counsellor & NLP Practitioner based in Marlborough, Wiltshire

First of all, welcome! I'm Louise, a qualified, trauma-informed counsellor & NLP practitioner and I'm passionate about empowering individuals from 6 to 106 to live their best lives.

As a therapist, I believe that everyone is unique and possesses their own inner wisdom. We are all the experts of our own lives, understanding ourselves better than anyone else. However, life can sometimes throw us curveballs—unexpected events or triggers from past experiences that can overwhelm us.

When this happens, it's completely normal to seek help, and that's where I come in. As a trained professional, I'm here to provide the guidance and tools you need to navigate these challenges. Together, we can work through these moments, helping you regain your balance and move forward with confidence.

Choosing the right type of talking therapy for you or your child

Whether you've found my page looking for help for yourself or for a child, do get in touch so I can understand more about the issue. I'll also explain how I work so you can decide if I'm the right therapist for you.

From anxiety and low-self-esteem through to emotional distress, depression and trauma, we'll work together to explore those issues, feelings, beliefs or behaviours, safely and at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer different therapies for different age groups either face to face or online, so please choose from the options below to find out more information:

A safe space to process you thoughts and feelings with a professional trauma-informed counsellor in Marlborough, Wiltshire

Not local? Don't worry, I also work online using Google Meet, and by telephone with clients across the UK too.

I work in accordance with the BACP ethical framework which sets out the standards that clients can expect from their counsellor

Being a Trauma-Informed Practitioner means that I have completed recognised training to ensure I work safely with clients who have experienced trauma. This includes understanding how trauma impacts and affects the brain, how to work safely so that clients do not re-traumatise themselves when processing their personal experience.

Knowing what a space looks like, before we visit, can massively help to reduce anxiety and enable us to focus on what we’ll get from the therapy session instead 💪🏻 This is what you can expect to see when you visit my therapy room in Marlborough, Wiltshire 💛 #counsellor #nlppractitioner #nlp #marlborough #therapyroom

“Are you even listening to what I’m saying?” 🤦🏼‍♀️ Something we’ve all said or thought at some point when speaking to children. We look at their body language and their facial expressions and possibly their lack of response and assume that they’re definitely not listening! I experienced this recently with a teen client, it felt like their lack of engagement, the endless “I don’t knows” 🤷🏼‍♀️ and their demeanour pointed to them not being interested in the work we were doing. I could not have been more wrong! 🙈 A week later I hear from their parent who tells me their child thoroughly enjoyed the session and they’d had a great week at school as a result 🥳 So the lesson here is 🤓: keep on providing your child and teen with those positive words of encouragement, keep telling them that you are proud and they are loved 🥰 Remind them that they can always talk to you 💬 Your words are not a waste, you’re not wasting your breath, your child is just processing and is not always going to gush with gratitude and thank you for your inspirational words, however, they may well do in years to come 🎉 You are being listened to - keep doing what you’re doing, it’ll be worth it💙😊

Knowing a parent is beginning to see their child happy and confident once more is beautiful 🥰 I’m so honoured to be able to support them on that journey. When they feel compelled to write a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Google review to tell the 🌍 about it, we’ll that’s the icing on the cake 🧁🥰

Sometimes when worrying about your child, it can help to look in the mirror and look at your own actions and behaviours to see if there are any similarities with how you see your child coping.❗️Worried about how they are handling conflict? ➡️Ask yourself “how do I handle conflict?” ❗️Worried about how they manage their anger? ➡️Ask yourself “how do I manage MY anger?” ❗️Worried about how they manage their anxiety? Ask yourself “how do I manage MY anxiety?” This isn’t about blame, it’s about recognising areas where you can model better actions and behaviours, because whether we like it or not, children model the behaviour and actions of the people around them.
And sometimes, we can be modelling the best behaviours in the world but our child can still find these things a struggle, so if you’d like to chat about how you can help your child to improve their emotional well-being, send me a DM or get in touch via the contact details in my bio 💛

Do you know a child or teen struggling with their self-esteem? Is it stopping them from getting involved in activities or enjoying their life?

Are they:
👉🏻 Self-critical and hard on themselves
👉🏻 Lacking in confidence?
👉🏻 Believe that the other kids are better than they are?
👉🏻 Doubt their abilities no matter what it is that they are doing?
👉🏻 Letting others treat them poorly?

Would you like them to feel more relaxed, calm and confident about themselves instead?

I'm a therapist offering children and young people the opportunity to join me in a series of four online 1-2-1 sessions where they'll learn how to:
⭐️ Change their negative internal chat
⭐️ Increase their resilience to new situations e.g starting a new school/college
⭐️ Increase their confidence and self belief in their own abilities
⭐️ Be proud of who they are!

Sessions are available on a first come first served basis.

If you'd like to know more, DM me or use contact details in bio.

It’s #nationallonelinessweek and feeling lonely can happen to anyone including children and young people ☹️ There may be issues at school with friendship groups, changes in BFFs, being bullied, transition to a new school etc. Loneliness has a huge impact on someone’s self-esteem because they feel that somehow they are the problem, it was their fault and of course, that’s often not true. If your child is feeling lonely at school and you’ve noticed that they are starting to blame them selves for this happening, get in touch so that we can discuss how I can help ☎️ 🤓#nlppractitioner #nlp4kids #believeinyourself #childrensmentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthmatters #childtherapy #childtherapywiltshire #liveyourbestlifenow #childrenemotionalsupport #childemotionalwellbeing

Sometimes it’s worth checking in with ourselves to ensure that what we’re offering, to anyone having a tough time, is in fact empathy and NOT sympathy! Empathy let’s the person know you really hear them and want to support them ❤️Sympathy tells a person, you have my attention for a few minutes but then I’ll be on to the next thing 🤦🏼‍♀️ If anything it can leave the person feeling worse, because they may feel rejected, worthless, stupid for sharing etc. So if you know someone is having a tough time and isn’t sharing much, check in with yourself and see if what you’ve been offering them previously has been sympathy or empathy?! #nlppractitioner #nlp4kids #believeinyourself #childrensmentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthmatters #childtherapy #childtherapywiltshire #liveyourbestlifenow #childrenemotionalsupport #childemotionalwellbeing #empathymatters

I recently chatted to a lovely lady called Claire who works with parents to help them parent in a way that is better for them and benefits the whole family too 🥰 She not only offers 1:1 and group sessions, she also has a lovely and supportive FB group called Conscious Parents Re-villaging that you should check out: https://www.facebook.com/groups/consciousparentsrevillaging/permalink/1189874905245535/

I’m sure many parents and care givers are familiar with asking the question “how was school today?” and getting a response that is loaded with lots of negatives of how their day was the worst day ever! 🤦🏼‍♀️

💡Instead of asking “how was your day?” change the question to “tell me 3 good things about your day” If they tell you they really want to tell you about the drama that happened, let them know you will listen to them, AFTER they have focused on some good stuff that happened that day too! 🌈

Practicing this daily will break their habit of always focusing on the negatives and help them to realise that there is actually positives to their day too!! 🧠

The positives don’t need to be massive, they can be as simple as “I had a laugh with my mates at break time” or “lunch was nice” - it’s just about retraining their brain to look for the positives instead of focusing on the negative continually😊
