Carol "Louise" Calder is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. She focuses on creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly about what’s worrying them. Carol believes taking the first step to seek help takes courage and she acknowledges that from the start.

Her work often addresses common concerns such as stress, anxiety and low mood. She also helps people with relationship difficulties, self-esteem, motivation and issues linked to ADHD and addictions.

Background and approach

Carol supports people coping with trauma, grief and intimacy-related challenges as well. Carol uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s own experience at the heart of sessions. She aims to listen carefully, reflect back what she hears and help people find their own solutions.

Sessions are paced to match each person’s comfort and readiness. She also focuses on issues like attachment patterns, autism and Asperger syndrome, mood disorders and personality-related difficulties. Young adult issues, isolation and seasonal mood changes are within her scope as well.

People who prefer straightforward, warm conversations tend to fit well with her style. Carol works in English and is not taking international clients. She offers several online session formats to suit different needs.

How client-centred work translates to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on understanding the person’s experience and responding with empathy and acceptance. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what they hear and follows the client’s pace to build trust. This approach helps with problems like anxiety, depression, relationship strain and low self-esteem by creating space to make sense of feelings.

Working online does not change the collaborative nature of her work. The therapist will discuss clients’ goals and preferences, and together they will choose ways of working that feel right. Finding the right approach is treated as a shared process and can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when non-verbal cues matter and a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging can suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions or people who do better with written communication. All these options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life, work and routines.
