Louise Malyan

I work flexibly 7 days, daytimes and evenings. I have face to face and online availability. Please contact me for a free no obligation intro session and we can discuss your needs and see if we are a right fit. 

For those who need financial assistance, I offer low-cost counselling for clients on a low income, Blue Light Card holders, and students. I want to make therapy accessible to everyone who needs it.

Taking the step to seek therapy is a brave one, and I am here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to find the relief, healing, and hope you deserve.

 At Wildfire Counselling and Therapy Hub, you will find a supportive, empathetic environment where you can begin your journey towards healing and self-discovery.

I Know How Hard This First Step Can Be鈥擸ou Don鈥檛 Have to Do It Alone

Reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, especially if you鈥檙e used to carrying everything on your own. Maybe you鈥檙e struggling with alcohol issues, addiction, ADHD, sexual abuse, trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, or complex PTSD. Maybe you don鈥檛 even know where to start鈥攜ou just know you can鈥檛 keep feeling like this. Whatever it is, you鈥檙e not alone, and you don鈥檛 have to figure it out by yourself.

I鈥檓 Louise, I offer something a little different. No stiff office, no endless paperwork鈥攋ust a safe, down-to-earth space where you can start making sense of things in a way that works for you. Whether we鈥檙e sitting with a coffee and a chocolate biscuit, walking in the fresh air, or exploring emotions through creative therapy, this is your space, and we鈥檒l go at your pace.

I know that talking about the tough stuff isn鈥檛 easy. That鈥檚 why we start by just getting to know each other鈥攏o pressure to dive into the deep end. The first part of therapy is about creating safety, so you feel grounded before we even begin to unpack anything heavy. I get how anxiety, fear, and shame can make it hard to open up, and while I may not have lived your exact experience, I truly understand what it鈥檚 like to carry big emotions.

Sometimes, talking isn鈥檛 enough鈥攖hat鈥檚 where creative therapy comes in. Whether it鈥檚 storytelling, art, or metaphor, we can find other ways to explore what鈥檚 going on inside. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy on my seven-acre smallholding, where you can move while you think, breathe in the fresh air, and process your feelings in a way that feels more natural.

Therapy with me isn鈥檛 just about fixing problems鈥攊t鈥檚 about helping you feel lighter, stronger, and more like yourself again. All emotions are welcome here鈥攁nger, sadness, fear, embarrassment, shame. Whatever you bring, we鈥檒l work through it together.

If you鈥檙e ready to take that first step, let鈥檚 chat.

A Space That鈥檚 Truly Yours

Therapy doesn鈥檛 have to mean sitting in a stiff office under harsh lighting, feeling like you're being analysed. That鈥檚 not how I work. My practice is based on a private seven-acre smallholding in Brenchley, a space designed for you to feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Whether you prefer a cosy indoor session with a coffee, hot chocolate, a cold can of Coke Zero (or something stronger鈥攍ike herbal tea!), with a biscuit or some chocolate, or you'd rather be outdoors, walking, talking, or just sitting in nature, we鈥檒l find what works for you.

You won鈥檛 be expected to spill your deepest trauma every session unless that鈥檚 what you need. Therapy with me isn鈥檛 about reliving pain over and over鈥攊t鈥檚 about understanding, processing, and moving forward in a way that feels manageable. Some days, that might mean deep conversations. Other days, it might be about simply being in a space where you can just be without pressure.

I鈥檓 down-to-earth, straight-talking, and I truly get how hard life can feel. Whether you鈥檙e struggling with trauma, addiction, ADHD, low self-esteem, or just feeling lost, you don鈥檛 have to do it alone. This is your space, your journey, and I鈥檓 here to help you make sense of it all, in a way that feels right for you.

No Pressure, Just Support

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it doesn鈥檛 have to be intimidating. I keep things relaxed, down-to-earth, and tailored to you. No jargon鈥攋ust real conversations in a space where you can feel safe to be yourself.

How?

馃敼 It鈥檚 Personal 鈥� You鈥檙e not just another client to me. We鈥檒l take our time getting to know each other, building trust so you feel comfortable opening up when you鈥檙e ready. There鈥檚 no rush and no pressure鈥攋ust a safe, non-judgmental space to figure things out together.

馃敼 I Get It 鈥� I know how hard it can be to talk about painful experiences. Anxiety, fear, shame鈥攁ll those heavy emotions can feel overwhelming. I鈥檝e been there myself, and I鈥檒l meet you with warmth, honesty, and genuine understanding.

馃敼 More Than Just Talking 鈥� Sometimes, words aren鈥檛 enough. That鈥檚 why I offer creative therapy, using art, storytelling, and other tools to help process emotions in a different way. If sitting still in a room doesn鈥檛 feel right, we can also walk and talk outdoors in the beautiful Kent countryside鈥攂ecause sometimes, moving your body helps move your thoughts too.

馃敼 Flexible & Comfortable 鈥� If we meet face-to-face, you鈥檒l find yourself in a warm, inviting space with the world鈥檚 comfiest sofas, a hot coffee, Coke Zero, or a chocolate biscuit (because therapy should feel like self-care, not a chore). Prefer to be outside? My seven-acre smallholding offers plenty of space to breathe. I also offer limited online sessions for those who need them.

Your First Session 鈥� No Forms, No Clipboards, Just Real Talk

Starting therapy can feel daunting, so let鈥檚 keep it simple. Our first session is about getting to know each other鈥攏o paperwork, no assessments, no ticking boxes. Just a real conversation about what鈥檚 going on for you and how I might be able to help.

I offer a free, no-obligation introductory video call, so you can get a feel for me and how I work before committing to anything. If you decide to continue, we鈥檒l find a rhythm that works for you鈥攚hether that鈥檚 weekly, fortnightly, or something more flexible.
