About

Founder & Trauma-Integrated Practitioner

Your healing doesn’t have to follow a clinical path.

 

With over a decade of specialized experience in trauma, Louise supports people through life’s hardest moments, often when traditional systems failed to meet them.

In 2021, Louise founded the Anam Rural Youth Association, a nonprofit providing mobile, trauma-integrated mental health support to high-risk, marginalized, and system-disconnected youth and young adults across rural Central Alberta.

To expand this work beyond youth and young adults, and offer deeper trauma processing for adults, Louise established Mt. Leinster Consulting Ltd., a private practice designed for people who’ve felt too much, been told they’re too complicated, or haven’t found a place to land in conventional care models.

Named after her home mountain range in Ireland, Mt. Leinster represents groundedness, belonging, and the strength it takes to walk a different path.

 

Her approach is not therapy.  It’s not coaching.
It’s something in between: a rigorous, trauma-integrated, and human-first model grounded in:

• Applied Metapsychology
• Polyvagal Theory
• Community & Workplace Traumatology
• Constructivism
• Unconditional positive regard
• Person-centered care

Each session is relational, structured, and non-clinical, designed to support nervous system regulation and deep, meaningful change.

 

Louise also provides:

• Trauma-integrated consulting for organizations and community groups
• Custom workshops on regulation, vicarious trauma, and workplace well-being
• Speaking engagements on community-based care, youth mental health, and healing beyond systems

 

Her work centres on supporting people and systems impacted by trauma, disconnection, and cumulative stress, including:

• Addiction and substance use as coping and survival
• Anxiety, overwhelm, and nervous system dysregulation
• Childhood trauma and its lifelong effects
• Divorce, family breakdown, and relational loss
• Grief and ambiguous loss
• Navigating suicidal thoughts and moments of crisis
• Supporting survivors of human trafficking and exploitation
• Trauma recovery and rebuilding a sense of self

• Workplace and organizational trauma
