Louise Lant is a counsellor who works from a person-centred base. She trained in the UK and brings eight years of professional experience to sessions. Louise aims to create a calm and respectful space where people can talk honestly about what is hard for them.

She has helped people facing stress and anxiety and those struggling with self-esteem and confidence. She also supports people dealing with family tensions and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Practical concerns such as communication problems, control issues and feelings of isolation are part of her day-to-day work. Person-centred practice sits at the core of her approach. That means she focuses on building a trusting relationship and on listening without judgement.

Alongside this she may use strategies from solution-focused, compassion-focused and cognitive behavioural approaches to suit the person in front of her. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She encourages people to identify their own strengths and to take small steps towards change.

Sessions are conversational and aim to make difficult things easier to talk about. Louise believes that seeking support takes courage and that most people already hold resources to move forward. She guides and supports people in finding those resources, helping with practical next steps when wanted.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Person-centred counselling focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It means the counsellor listens without judgement and helps people speak openly about what matters. This approach is useful for building confidence and working through feelings such as anxiety and low self-esteem.

Solution-focused techniques look for small, practical steps that can change a situation. These are brief, action-oriented ideas that help with immediate problems like communication breakdowns or a tricky decision. Compassion-focused ideas help people treat themselves with more kindness, which can ease shame and self-criticism.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls are like in-person sessions and allow visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief support through the week or want to avoid being on camera. Together, these options make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy life.
