My Approach
About me
Hello, I’m Emma Louvaine, the founder of Compassionate Therapy, based in Retford, offering both in-room and mobile therapy sessions across Bassetlaw and Bolsover. My journey into therapy was inspired by years of working in the care industry, supporting individuals with complex needs and challenging behaviours.
I am a proud member of The Federation of Holistic Therapists and Psychotherapy Networker, ensuring ethical practice and access to insurance-based treatment options for my clients. My work is regularly supervised, and inspired by leading psychotherapists, including Bessel van der Kolk.
With a deep passion for psychology and mind-body healing, I integrate mindfulness, hypnotherapy, and therapeutic interventions to support emotional regulation, stress relief, and behavioural well-being. I have designed group training sessions for parents, carers, and individuals managing conditions like fibromyalgia, IBS, and neurodiverse challenges such as autism and ADHD.
I am also pursuing a degree in Psychology, aiming to deepen my knowledge and expand my therapeutic offerings. My future goal is to contribute to mental health research and clinical interventions, particularly for individuals with complex needs.
