Lou Lachman, Energy Counselling

Lou Lachman, Energy Counselling I invite you to counselling in a warm and supportive place, where you can find a way forwards that fits with what you want for yourself.

Energy Counselling is about resonance, and trusting our bodies and inner parts, so that we can come into our life empowered and present, ready to step into the life we want. As a British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy accredited counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential, ethical and effective practice. Please contact me for an appointment. I am a Humanistic, Body-centred, Multi-Cultural Psychotherapist and Counsellor. While I appreciate that can be difficult for many of us to come into counselling. I will make this as easy as possible. In fact, if we are not a good fit, I will help you find another counsellor that suits your needs. Often through attending counselling we want to address issues that cause us pain. This pain or difficulty can take many forms, it could be

- physical pain, like muscle aches
- emotional pain, like depression
- mental pain, like anxiety
- spiritual pain, like a sense of purposelessness and alienation

Counselling works to address all of these levels of awareness. As you listen to yourself and see through the eyes of different parts of yourself, you become able to comfort those parts and develop skills that help you to become free of emotional patterns that keep you repeating the same relationships or the same patterns of behaviour. Counselling is focused on supporting you to become more aware of your own resources in the present moment. We will work together to find what your resources are. Some of these resources are skills you already have and ways of being that you already know. I will teach you some new skills too, which will assist you to remain balanced and relaxed in the face of difficulties. Counselling can help with most issues, some issues I specialise in:
trauma, sexual abuse, incest, childhool neglect
addiction, co-dependence
bullying at work, exam nerves
grief and loss
cancer and issues related to long term illness (ME and fibromyalgia), chronic pain
anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation
stress, phobias, anxiety, fears, panic attacks
difficulties with goal achievement or confidence
compulsive habits, OCD
Insomnia, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
overwhelming emotions

Where: Sessions can be held in person at my office in Bristol (82 Colston Street, BS1 5BB), by phone, by video chat, according to your preference. Whatever your concerns, give me a call on 07871105335, or email me, louanne@energycounselling.co.uk, to see if I can help.

My wish for you is that you begin to listen to the deeper parts of yourself, that you begin to value all of them, the cries, the rants, the tenderness. In the process, you will get bigger as you value yourself.

You are more precious and powerful than you imagine.

You always have been.

Imagine more for you, imagine more for everyone. Keep going. We got this.

Colonialism, patriarchy, misogyny, racism, homophobia, and transphobia do not get to win. We do.

Perhaps ironically, that is what I consider true commitment. Honouring my own truth needs to come before anything else. Yet, in the past, losing my partner wasn’t a risk I could take. The younger parts of me were too needy.

Now, I can say without hesitation, my truth, my values, and my attention to my needs comes first. This is my journey, and I value myself within it.

If this process of coming back to valuing yourself is something you want to begin to practice more, step into the work.

This work takes time and care. Yet, energy tools will allow you to change the energy of it and feel the shift, beginning that journey to freedom, able to trust the tools you are using, so that the ground underneath you becomes more solid.

Take a moment with this image.

Read the words. Sit with the faces. Let it land.

These photographs by Misan Harriman invite us to slow down — and to notice what responsibility can grow from seeing clearly.

That pause led me to support a family in Gaza through the Gaza Support Network, which helps families directly, person-to-person.

If you’d like to learn how to contribute or support a family yourself, please check out The Gaza Support Network, link in bio.

Awareness is a beginning.
Action is a good next step.

I did this for a long time. I had to shut down to survive.

That is a normal coping strategy, a normal response to overwhelming events. And it works. It’s something we all do. It helps us survive.

Later in life, it numbs us to what we want to attend to and takes us somewhere else when we want and need to be present.

So, I have learned and developed tools that help bring us back.

If you want to recover from your internalised shame or homophobia, energy tools can support this.

Check out my Heart Holding Reassurance PDF. It will lead you through the steps to connect and calm your system.

We all deserve freedom, and our inner world deserves attention and care. That is the only way to freedom. With the right tools, you can do this.

See if this energy practice will support you.

Wishing you freedom, always,

Many people can explain their trauma clearly.
They know what happened.
They understand why it affected them.

And yet, in certain moments, the body reacts anyway.

That’s because some trauma responses form before words are available — or when words weren’t safe. These patterns live in sensation, impulse, and reflex, not in conscious thought.

Talking can bring clarity.
But reactions often shift when the nervous system is included too.

This isn’t a failure of insight.
But often, we cannot see what is happening.
It's beyond thinking and understanding.

Simply, it needs energetic attention and physical remedies. Once the body settles, it changes, and we can think about what happened.

Hope doesn’t always shout.

Sometimes it stands quietly, holding a sign, refusing to disappear.

Photographed by Misan Harriman, these moments remind me that presence matters — and that staying present often leads to action.

After spending time with this work, I chose to support a family in Gaza through the Gaza Support Network, which connects people directly with families in need. Concerned Israelis set it up.

If you’d like to contribute to a family in Gaza in a real, personal way, check out the Gaza Support Network (link in bio). DM me if you have questions. Right now, there's a winter appeal. Nothing is better in Gaza; children and others are still dying. There is an absolute lack of food, and aid is still being blocked.

Small acts still matter.
They always have.

At this time in our world, we really need to figure out how to work together.

Our freedom and our empowerment are dependent on each other, if you have peace, share it; if you have freedom, share it.

We are interdependent and one collective.

Does your body ever feel like it’s holding too much?

Not in your thoughts.
In your body.

A heaviness you can’t name.
Tension that doesn’t seem to leave.
A sense of being “on” even when nothing is happening.

For many people, especially those who’ve lived through abuse, the body learned to carry what couldn’t be expressed or released at the time.

There’s nothing wrong with that.
It makes sense.

If this resonates, you’re welcome to share — a word, a feeling, or simply a “yes.”
And if not, that’s okay too.

This is a space for listening.
