Louise Laird

Counselling & Psychotherapy

in Aberdeenshire, UK

Welcome to Louise Laird Counselling



 

When life feels heavy, or you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn, you don’t have to face it alone. I provide a calm, confidential space where you can feel heard, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and find a way forward.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, burnout, and life transitions.

“When we are truly heard, change becomes possible.”
Inspired by Carl Rogers (1957)

How I can support you

Person sitting alone in front of a window

I offer individual counselling for adults seeking support with anxiety, low mood, burnout, overthinking, or feeling stuck. In a calm, confidential space, we’ll explore what’s happening for you and work together to find practical ways to move forward.

I support couples and individuals who are caught in painful patterns, struggling to communicate, or unsure about how to move forward — whether that’s together or apart. In our work, we focus on understanding patterns and finding a path that feels right.

About Me

Louise Laird, person-centred counsellor based in Westhill, Aberdeenshire

Hi, I’m Louise, a counsellor and psychotherapist based in Westhill, Aberdeenshire. I hold a Master of Science (MSc) in Person-Centred Counselling from the University of Aberdeen, and a post-qualification in Couples and Relationship Therapy (CORST).

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical framework and professional standards.

I have volunteered as a counsellor with a local charity and worked as a Specialist Student Mentor across several Scottish universities, supporting students with their mental health and wellbeing.

Alongside counselling, I have been a yoga teacher for almost 20 years and am registered with Yoga Alliance UK, bringing a holistic approach to wellbeing.

I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive space where adults and couples can explore challenges, understand patterns, and feel empowered to make choices that help them move forward in their lives.
