About Me
Hi, I’m Louise Fearick, a BACP qualified person-centred therapist based in Cheshire.
With over 20 years experience in corporate roles, I specialise in supporting professionals navigating life in high-pressure business roles. I understand the pressures of a life in business especially when combined with the challenges that life can bring outside of work. Although work is often a significant contributing factor to a person’s mental wellbeing, it is not everything and I am committed to clients experiencing emotional distress, whether related to the workplace or not.
Like most of us, I juggle multiple roles in my life. Outside of my work, I’m mum to two boys, and a proud northern lass with an unshakeable love of markets, indie music, and life’s simple pleasures.

What Clients Say
A Warm Welcome To Everyone
I welcome diversity including all body sizes, abilities, races, sexualities, genders, neurotypes, religious beliefs and political values.
I value and believe in the importance and strength of diversity, equality, and inclusion.
Therapy is as unique as the two people taking part in it (the therapist and the client) and encompasses the client’s values, beliefs, and world views. My goal is to create a space where you feel nurtured and safe.
I am committed to acknowledging the unique inter-connections between where you’re from, your ethnicity/race, who you love, how you want to express yourself, your age and ability status, your faith, your relationship to money and socio-economic status, your body size/appearance, your family dynamics and make-up, and your history.
I am dedicated to providing culturally responsive care that is grounded in cultural humility. I am committed to the ongoing pursuit of learning as well as unlearning. I believe that how we think, feel, and act are shaped from experiences we have had, both personally as well as from institutional, systemic, historical influences and contexts. However, I also believe in the growth mindset and resiliency, that we all have the capacity for change, to unlearn unhealthy behaviours or beliefs about ourselves, and strive towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
I am a member of several marginalised groups myself and know the experience of being misunderstood, insulted, mis-represented and treated with negative bias. I seek to not just create a “safe space”, but welcome individuals into a “brave space” to feel heard, understood, and supported. I strive to promote the growth and the empowerment of my clients, to be authentically who they are, strive towards who they want to become, and thrive!
My Experience
Outside of my therapy work, I work at senior level in business development where my focus is on helping socially and environmentally motivated businesses grow.
As well as my private practice, I also work as a remote counsellor for Deafblind UK, supporting clients with dual sensory loss.
Through my work at organisations including Manchester Rape Crisis, Trafford Carers, the NHS, and DeafBlind UK, I have gained varied experience working with people facing a wide range if difficulties including stress, burn-out, work-life balance, low self-confidence and self-esteem, bereavement and loss, anxiety, depression and relationship issues.
Prior to training as a therapist, I spent 10 years working in mental health, working for various crisis and support charities nationally and locally to me in the North West. In 2018 I took the decision to begin training as a therapist and now have a portfolio career doing what I love – which is helping to bring about positive change and growth, putting client needs at the heart.
How I Approach Talking Therapy
You are you. You are the expert on your life and what it’s like to be you. It’s my job to listen and to understand as far as possible, what that experience is like for you. I do the work to stand beside you during the therapy sessions to explore your perspective, your experiences and what this means for you. For this reason, I deliver “person-centred” therapy.
This approach:
Focuses on you as an individual
Provides a non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings
Empowers you to find your own solutions – it’s not about techniques or advice.
Helps you develop greater self-awareness.
It’s my goal to foster a trusting relationship with my clients so that they feel fully heard, understood and not judged. That’s why my business is called “a haven” because that’s how it should feel working with me – that you’ve found a safe, confidential space to pause from life for a while, stock up your supplies, and set your course so you can sail away in the right direction.
