Hello there, curious human!
I'm Louise. Another fellow human, travelling on the path to truth and wholeness. My official title is counselling psychologist, but what I really do is journeying with people, creating safety for them to get close to their hearts, so that they can start to wake up to the life they truly want to live.
I get it—bringing someone in when you are hurting the most isn't an easy sell, particularly when you are used to keeping people out. Just like you, I've longed for those elusive 'answers,' trying to figure out the question, "what is wrong with me?" all on my own.
I understand why you keep this stuff to yourself. People tend to look at you strangely, changing the subject to something else, or even starting to tell you about their pain. And you listen, because that is what you are really good at. Your experience is that you need to keep this stuff to yourself, it’s safer that way.
Searching for truth can be lonely, right?
But guess what? You don’t have to do it on your own.
If you've got that deep desire to unravel the complexities of your heart and make contentment and joy a reality in the here and now, you've landed in the right spot. My purpose lies in creating a safe enough space for the hidden and careful humans, so that they can start looking inwards, staying with the heartbreak, waking up to aliveness, and helping connect and use the inner wisdom that was there all along.
You're not alone in this. The hidden folks I work with are a lot like you—reflective, professional, living a pretty sweet life by anyone's standards. Yet, there's that longing for more aliveness, there is a voice that is whispering, that this isn't really living and that you are limiting yourself somehow. You try to fill it with passion projects, an endless list of unread books, workouts, and the occasional glass of wine.
But the longing ache persists, and you're not quite sure what it is.
You can't help but be carried away with the discomfort. You can easily get swept away by your internal world, and sometimes it overwhelms you. You feel deeply but struggle to find the right words. You need someone who can keep up with your brain to access your heart.
Let's admit it, you need help. You need someone like me.
I hear your conflicted longing to be seen, and your reflex to push others away when you are hurting.
In our work together, I'll make is safe enough for you to get close to what is protecting your heart and why it took up this protective job in the first place. Together we can start navigating your internal emotional landscape, leaving you in less in need of this false sense of security that your heart protectors have been providing you with. I can't tell you what we'll find, but I promise it'll transform your life if you let it.
If you're willing to risk uncovering what's beneath your finely honed social mask, you might discover a life where you're finally open to everything—pain, pleasure, and that mix in between we call joyfulness.
Deep down, you know settling for anything less than being fully ALIVE, means living in the shadows, feeling limited.
I think you are exhausted waiting for things to resolve on their own. Numbing has its limits.
Avoiding the feeling that something isn't right is starting to bite you. Underneath your functional exterior, you cannot hide from the voice shouting out, “there has to be something else”.
You're exhausted from performing your life rather than living it.
Self-love sounds nice, but right now, you'd settle for deeper self-understanding and a good night's sleep.
It's all possible, and more, if you're willing to show up and be as real as you can be. If you're ready to dive in and do the work, let's talk and see if I'm the right person to help you get there.
