Louise Guidon offers a person-centred approach to counselling. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people feel heard. Louise aims to create a calm space where someone can talk through what matters most to them.

She is a BACP member, with four years of professional experience in counselling. Louise has worked in local counselling agencies and as a college counsellor. She also provides well being support through a national children's charity and has run a face-to-face independent practice.

Background and approach

Louise helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those dealing with relationship problems, family conflict, grief and loss. Practical day-to-day concerns such as sleep problems, parenting strain and career worries are part of her work too.

Her practice also covers issues linked to trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include ADHD, attachment difficulties, chronic illness or disability and caregiver stress. She works with a wide range of personal challenges such as guilt, shame, impulsivity and feelings of emptiness.

In sessions Louise aims to reduce judgement and build understanding. She helps people explore feelings at their own pace and to notice what changes make a difference. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person needs.

Sessions are offered in English and take place in the United Kingdom. Louise's background before training included supporting adults with housing and mental health needs, which informs her practical, down-to-earth style.

Person-centred support delivered online

Louise works from a person-centred framework that places the client's experience at the heart of the work. This approach means the therapist listens without judging and helps people discover their own next steps. It can be helpful for common concerns such as anxiety, low mood, relationship tension and grief.

The person-centred way focuses on empathy, acceptance and being understood. In practice this looks like reflective listening, gentle questioning and allowing people space to make sense of their feelings. This approach suits those who want a collaborative, client-led process rather than directive instruction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a way of working together. The process is collaborative and can be adjusted over time to fit what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a full face-to-face style conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or need flexible, brief contact during the day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
