About Louise
Louise Guidon is a person-centred counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Louise aims to make the first step towards support feel manageable and respectful for anyone reaching out.
She uses a person-centred approach to create an open, non-judgemental space. In sessions she listens closely and helps people make sense of their feelings. The focus is on what matters to the individual and on building understanding at their pace.
Louise has worked in local counselling agencies, served as a college counsellor, and supported a national children’s charity with wellbeing services for children, young people and parents. Before training as a counsellor she worked in housing and mental health support for adults, which informs her practical understanding of everyday pressures.
Her practice includes supporting people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family issues, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, and trauma and abuse. She also helps with intimacy-related issues, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, anger, career concerns, depression, and coping with life changes.
Further areas of focus include ADHD, compassion fatigue, abandonment, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, chronic illness and disability, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, domestic violence, and problems related to guilt, shame or infidelity. Louise aims to work alongside people to find clearer ways forward.
How person-centred work translates to online support
Louise uses a person-centred approach which focuses on understanding the person in front of her. This means she listens closely, reflects what is said, and follows the client’s lead to decide what to work on. It is helpful for issues such as anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes because it builds trust and clarity one step at a time.Her practice also emphasises practical emotional support. That means discussing how day-to-day stresses, relationships and caring responsibilities affect feelings, and helping people find manageable steps forward. This approach can be useful for grief, family tensions, compassion fatigue and the practical effects of chronic illness or disability.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with the client to agree what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying different ways of talking and reflecting until something fits.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, reduce commute time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care if circumstances change, while still focusing on practical, everyday progress.
