Louise Johnson

"Life is not about finding ourselves, its about creating ourselves".

Louise is our founder, creator, managing director and driving force here at 4thought Psychology. She has passionately supported children, adolescents, and families for over thirty years in roles within education, hospitals, and private clinical practice.

As a senior psychologist, her work centres around anxiety-related disorders, trauma, and child-related therapeutic interventions. Louise has a specialist interest in supporting families through issues around relationship breakdown, conflict, separation, and Family Court prevention. She believes strongly in preventative interventions and in helping parents navigate separation with respect, dignity, and an emphasis on finding ways to mutually support child welfare and wellbeing.

She continually seeks out new ways in which she can positively impact the emotional wellbeing of her clients and the wider community and is a passionate advocate for incorporating the latest therapeutic approaches into practice, including EMDR, EFT (tapping), yoga therapy and animal-assisted therapy to profoundly impact people’s lives.

Lou works with children of all ages, adolescents, adults, families & couples.

Her consultation days are Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Key Evidence-Based Therapeutic Interventions:

• Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)
