Welcome
Hello, I’m Lou Goldsmith, an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor based near Norwich in Norfolk.

I offer a supportive and confidential space where you can explore difficult thoughts, emotions and life experiences at your own pace.

My approach combines psychotherapy, mindfulness and emotional regulation techniques to help clients develop deeper self-understanding and lasting change.

How I can help

 

Individual counselling

Support for anxiety, stress, depression, grief and personal challenges.

 

Couples counselling

Helping couples improve communication, rebuild trust and navigate difficult periods.

 

Mindfulness therapy

Develop tools for emotional regulation, awareness and managing stress.

 

Online counselling

Flexible sessions from the comfort of your home.

My approach
I work using an integrative therapeutic approach, drawing on several evidence-based methods depending on each client’s needs:

  • Psychodynamic exploration
  • Mindfulness techniques
  • Emotional regulation skills
  • Reflective conversation
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Person centered therapy
  • Transactional analysis, also sometimes referred to as the drama triangle
  • Humanistic therapy
Counselling provides a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can gain clarity, insight and new ways of responding to life’s challenges.

Common issues I work with

Anxiety

Stress and burnout

Relationship difficulties

Low self-esteem

Trauma

Life transitions

Depression

Grief and loss

We are always in pain if we are unable to be ourselves

With support you will gain confidence to be yourself, accept yourself, and in doing so, accept others, just as they are.

 ' I cannot thank Lou Goldsmith enough for all her help and guidance this year. I feel I am regaining control of my life once more and would never have been able to do this without her help and support. For the first time in 15 years I can finally say I'm good enough and truly mean that and for that no amount of thank yous could ever repay what she has done for me' 

Laura, Norfolk

 It 's such a shame that it has taken me forty years to finally find someone who understands and has helped me so much. 

Richard, Norfolk

 'On meeting my counsellor I felt she really wanted to help me and at no time did I feel I was not relaxed and she made everything as simple for me and it has been successful- Thank you' 

Olive, Norfolk

 A million thank yous would not be enough to say how you have helped turn my life around. Without you I wouldn't have been able to do it. 

Sarah- Norfolk

 Dear Lou, Thank you for my counselling. Your kind, caring and thoughtful approach has enabled me to reflect and understand myself much better. I feel I now have developed personal resources which will help me face future changes and challenges in my life. Your contribution to these is much appreciated. 

Lesley- Norfolk

 Dear Lou, I hope you know how much you have helped. For whatever reasons, depression and anxiety take their toll on the person you meet and help. For me, it has been an eye opener and know now there is no shame in feeling mental stress! Why should I be any different??!!! Please God, people like you will continue to help someone like me!! Thank you 

Irene- Norfolk

 Dear Louise, Just to say a big 'thank you' for all the support you have given me the last few months. It has really helped an awful lot and I will miss you. 

Sandra- Norfolk

 I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help. My overall well being is so much better and I really have embraced the triangle! Once again thank you so much, words cannot explain how much better my life is.

 I had found myself in a very dark place for several years, I refused help and any help I did receive seemed to be futile. However, when I started my counselling sessions with Lou things started to make sense, all those dotted lines and questions I had started to fit together. She was able to explain things to me in a way I understood, and she gave me all the tools I need to keep myself in a good place, something that at one point in my life I did not think possible. Most importantly though she showed me that the way I was feeling did not make me weaker but in fact could make me stronger. I can give nothing but praise to Lou and how she helped me. I highly recommend her to anyone who may be struggling as I did. – Stuart Brown
