About

Founder & Trauma-Integrated Practitioner

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

 

With nearly 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, 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
