Louise Vickers helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, addiction, and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, parenting strain, career worries, and big life changes. She is named Louise Vickers and holds BACP accreditation, which means she follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards.

Louise works in a person-centred way. That means sessions focus on the client's experience and goals. She listens without judgement and helps people find their own solutions.

Background and approach

Motivational Interviewing is also part of her approach to help people find the drive to change. Sessions are shaped around what a person needs. Louise adapts the pace and focus so each conversation feels relevant and practical.

She uses straightforward conversation rather than technical language, and aims to make each session useful from the start. Her background includes four years of experience working with a range of concerns such as eating issues, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and substance use. She has additional focus on ageing and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic health problems, and immigration-related difficulties.

Louise offers therapy in English for people located in the United Kingdom. She provides a range of online session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Information on cost is given through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Louise’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgement. The therapist aims to create conversations that let people explore what matters to them and identify their own solutions; this can help with low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life transitions.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change. It involves gentle questioning and reflection to build motivation and commitment, which can be useful for addictions, behaviour change, or improving wellbeing.

Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try different ways of working, and adjust methods to fit each person's needs and preferences. Together they will pick what feels most helpful for the issues being addressed.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller connection is wanted. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit easily into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer typing, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments, or mobility limitations.
