About me
You know how to function. You probably do it well. But there’s a version of you underneath all that functioning that you haven’t quite been able to get to yet.
Maybe you keep bumping into the same patterns. You make a decision and second-guess it almost immediately. You’re good at keeping things moving. You’re less good at knowing why none of it feels like enough.
I work with women who are ready to stop managing their life and start actually living it.
My coaching draws on over 10 years of practice as a psychotherapist and coach. That combination means I can help you work at depth where it matters, not just set goals and track them. We look at what is genuinely shaping how you think, decide, and hold yourself back, and we create something more solid in its place.
How I work
Sessions are focused, relational, and practical. I’m interested in what is underneath the patterns you keep repeating, not just the patterns themselves. We will look at what you have inherited, what you have absorbed, and what you are ready to let go of. From there, we build something that actually feels like you.
I work in person from a dedicated practice room in the Ouseburn, Newcastle upon Tyne, and online.
What coaching can offer you
Clarity about what is actually driving your decisions, not just what you think is.
The ability to trust yourself in a way that does not require constant reassurance or analysis.
A way of moving forward that feels grounded rather than forced.
My background
I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist and EMCC Senior Practitioner coach with an MSc in Psychotherapy and a Postgraduate Diploma in Coaching. Before retraining I spent 15 years in digital and creative agencies, which means I understand the world my clients often come from: fast moving, high expectation, and not always great at giving people permission to slow down and think.
Clients describe our work together as life changing, honest, and grounding. You can read more at louisehiles.com/testimonials.

Testimonials:
“Coaching has had a really positive impact on my approach to my professional life, future career goals and beyond. The sessions allowed me to better understand myself and unpack some of the patterns that had led me to feeling overstretched and stuck.
Louise created a supportive, insightful space for me to be honest and reflective, and I don't hesitate to recommend her as a coach.“
"I found my sessions with Louise very beneficial to help me to organize my thoughts and take action on moments of clarity.She has a natural way of observing which means she can easily highlight ways around a problem whilst empowering her clients to think and listen to themselves. I think her actionable coaching skills combined with her psychotherapy training means she has quite the edge over many other coaches"
“I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my life and thinking positively about what I've learned and how to put that effect to be the person that I want to be. You've been a very important part of what's allowed me to do this.”
“I’ve had several sessions with Louise. She offers warmth, depth, insight and clarity as a coach. Her manner is focused which has been so valuable to me in my professional development. Louise’s experience as a therapist offers the space to go deeper where required but she encourages me to keep on track with the areas I want to look at.”
