Louise is a very capable psychologist, and has been super helpful and supportive during my hardships.

I have had courses with at least 8 different psychologists and therapists over the past 6 years on the basis of both stress, depression and anxiety. So far, no one has managed to move forward or change anything about me and my problems. When I came to Louise I was therefore skeptical and tired of having to repeat myself, just to be heard and recognized in my grief and pain. I lacked the tools and insight to be able to see through, acknowledge and break my habitual patterns of action. I recognize the anger and frustration mentioned in other comments here regarding my initial consultations with Louise. However, I have to emphasize that today (after the course) I am both happy and proud that I persevered and let Louise take the lead in our conversations. Louise's ability to maintain me, in the painful areas of my life, has helped me to be able to feel myself and to be able to understand my patterns of action. In this way, I have learned to recognize them, so that it has also become possible for me to be able to break them and create more appropriate patterns in my life. It has been a hard process, but also the most effective and useful process I have ever experienced. Louise therefore has my warmest recommendations for people who have the courage to look inward and fight whatever battle it may be, to accept the painful things that life sometimes brings - and to take responsibility for the things that you can change yourself. I do not consider the 'point system' used as a way of judging people (as others have felt it) but as a help to clarify where I myself have been from time to time in the process. This has helped me to clearly see how far I have come from time to time, which has also given me the strength to continue the fight. Louise is an extremely competent, insightful and sharp psychologist - which for me has been the key to FINALLY being able to change something. Thank you!

I have been going to Louise for the past six months. With her different approach, Louise has managed to move on some private issues, which at first I experienced as crossing the line, but which I later took to heart, because I experienced that her honesty and straightforward approach made me reflect better. With Louise, you have to be ready to be moved a bit. For me personally, it has been a good and enormously rewarding and developing experience.

Louise has been a huge help to me. She had almost no waiting time and when I came to her as a relative of a mentally ill person and needed help as my older brother is schizophrenic paranoid (he is currently severely psychotic and there is no other family who can help him but me) it was important for me not having to wait weeks or months. I have never gone to a psychologist before and didn't quite know whether to be skeptical or expectant and what in general would meet me. Louise has really given me a positive image of getting help from a professional! I really like her technique and approach in our conversations, where we got around what was difficult and really hurt, gave plenty of time for me to rant when I did, stopped the conversation in between so I didn't just skate over the thoughts and feelings that were rolling around in my head, but made me think and feel them finished so I could find out if they were good or bad and helped me get an overview of the things and thoughts I actually could affect so I didn't try to solve all problems at once. She has taught me to let go of what I can't do anything about, without feeling guilty about what I thereby let go of, and she was really good at giving me space so that I could reflect on her questions and come to my own conclusions an answer/conclusion. She has never put words in my mouth, only guided me through my own frustrations so that they became manageable. She should really be praised for that! We had a really good collaboration and super good chemistry. Louise was very good at promptly adapting her techniques to what worked for/on me and she has radiated sincere compassion and understanding throughout. Her number grading system we started each conversation with worked really well for me. It provided a basis for how I felt right there and what we should focus extra on and it made it possible to follow whether there was progress or decline for each conversation we had. I don't hope for anyone else that they will experience the same thing that I have experienced and gone through (and am still in the middle of but in much better conditions now) with mental illness in the family, because it is a tough sneeze, but for them I can only heartily recommend Louise.

I've been going to interviews with Louise for about a year and a half, and I've been really happy about that! I've moved a lot, exactly as I wanted, which is so cool. Louise is really good at cutting to the bone and getting a look at the relevant. Since I can be flighty in my thoughts, it has been a good thing to have a psychologist who can pull me back on track. I cannot recognize the condescension others claim to have experienced. I think maybe it is someone's experience of what I experience as something positive: She challenges the thoughts and feelings you have - and in my experience, as a user of psychiatry for the last 10 years, that is exactly what makes you move. But if you are not ready to be challenged, or expect to be, then of course it can seem provocative. But it is a warm recommendation from here :)

If only I had read the previous reviews in time and had opted out of consulting Louise. Been there once - I won't do it again! Several times I felt both talked down to and decidedly laughed at in relation to the very personal problems I brought up. And when I openly and directly spoke out against Louise's very pronounced need to stuff my (expensive) session and waste my time with various meaningless features, it was in no way heard or respected. It is clear that in therapy you can be exposed to the fact that you as a client react to the therapist because you have issues yourself. I have experienced this with other therapists, but this has in no way been caused by the therapist or his approach to the psychological work, and I have even had really good, result-creating and healing therapeutic courses in the past. With Louise, however, it was simply a case of such a pronounced lack of situational awareness and willingness/ability to create a welcoming, safe and meaningful space for the client that afterwards I was both angry, shocked and decidedly incredulous. I also absolutely recognize the humiliating element that Sally describes.

Louise has been a great help to me in a stressful process, with a focus on the working environment. In addition to that, she "forced" me to look a little deeper at my life and my behavior patterns, which has given me energy and faith in the future. Despite her sometimes provocative manner (which I needed), she always managed to land talking where they fit and has always been good at listening and correcting if our understanding of the problem was different. Best recommendation from here 🤩

Really bad experience, felt talked down to and not welcomed at all, every time I tried to explain myself or say something that was really hard for me, I was just told it was wrong and I was really upset every time time I had spoken to her. I otherwise gave it quite a few tries as I really just needed some help, but we just argued every time because I wasn't heard at all and was just talked down to. The only good thing to say was that after a good while, she sent me on to a colleague instead of just letting me go and stand on my bare bottom again.
