Welcome
Hello, and thank you for visiting my website. I’m Louise Burchell, a qualified Pluralistic Counsellor and Yoga Teacher with nearly 20 years of experience in mental health and wellness. Whether you’re looking for counselling support or yoga classes, I’m here to help you navigate life’s challenges and cultivate emotional and physical well-being.
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and taking that first step toward support is incredibly important. Whether you’re preparing for the birth or your baby, looking to stay active or dealing with anxiety, grief, relationship issues, or perinatal challenges, I offer both counselling and yoga as tools to help you reconnect with yourself and heal.
How I Work
I use a pluralistic approach to counselling, meaning I tailor our work to fit your unique needs, drawing from a variety of therapeutic methods. Together, we will focus on what feels most helpful for you, whether that’s exploring your emotions, understanding past experiences, or developing practical tools to manage life’s difficulties.
In addition to counselling, I also offer yoga classes that can support your mental and physical well-being. Yoga can be a powerful tool for reducing stress, increasing mindfulness, and fostering self-awareness. I teach a holistic approach that combines breathwork, movement, and relaxation techniques to help you feel grounded and more connected to your body and mind.
Key Services
I offer a range of services to support you through various stages of life:
Counselling: Tailored to help you explore and manage personal, emotional, and relational challenges. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to work through your concerns, set goals, and gain clarity.
Parent & Baby Yoga: Gentle yoga for new parents, incorporating your baby into the practice to bond, relieve tension, and promote relaxation for both you and your little one.
Pregnancy Yoga: Designed to help you stay fit and relaxed throughout pregnancy, focusing on strength, flexibility, and breathing techniques to prepare for labour.
Women’s Yoga: Created specifically for women’s health, this practice focuses on supporting all stages of life - from hormonal changes to self-care routines and strength-building practices.
If you’re ready to begin or would like to learn more about how I can support you, please get in touch. I offer both in-person (in Edinburgh City Centre) and online sessions for counselling, and yoga classes are held in Corstorphine (West Edinburgh).
Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Whether you’re interested in counselling or yoga I’d be happy to explore how we can work together.

“I went to Louise when I was pregnant with my second baby. I was worried about a recurrence of my post natal anxiety. Louise was absolutely fabulous, she supported me in a really personalised and responsive way. I have made huge improvements in my life and have survived the first month of being a mum of two! I highly, highly recommend Louise to help support your feelings around motherhood. Genuinely changed my life for the better”
